Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, February 04, 2010

The Christmas Day bombing attempt by Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab quickly became a another tiresome political issue in the United States, yet another opportunity for the Republicans to bash the President.

As usual, the GOP leadership is adding nothing to the discussion with its partisan brickbats, and perverted focus on the benefits of torture, and this incident in particular only underscores their sorry irrelevance. Because the real question, one that was instantly asked by all sorts of non-Republicans in the wake of the incident, is: How did he ever get on a plane in the first place, when his own father went to the authorities over concerns that his son had been "radicalized" and had subsequently disappeared?

50 minutes of questioning is more than enough time to see what else the failed terrorist knows, eh?

"Because the real question, one that was instantly asked by all sorts of non-Republicans in the wake of the incident, is: How did he ever get on a plane in the first place, when his own father went to the authorities over concerns that his son had been "radicalized" and had subsequently disappeared?"

That one is easy. Because a Democrat is in charge.

This is what's in charge of Homeland Security:

"Ever since Janet Napolitano became Homeland Security Secretary, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents warned me about her girlfriend, Dora Schriro, whom she brought with her from Arizona (where Schriro headed the Arizona Department of Corrections). Schriro, a bizarre woman with a Ph.D., treated prisoners as "clients," her name for them, gave them birthday parties and cakes, etc. And Napolitano made Schriro her special advisor on immigration enforcement, particularly detention and removal of illegal aliens. That's why many of them are now living in hotel facilities and given perks many destitute legal American citizens would die for."

"J-No hires many women with whom she's had and appears to want to have a relationshipmost of whom have zero relevant experience"

"Under Dora Schriro, an extremist Muslim prison cleric (redundant phrase) snuck in box cutter blades. Oh, and he's a convicted murderer with a record of sexual assault, who converted to Islam in prison. Andho apropos!his chosen new Islamic surname is Abdu-Shahid, which is Arabic for "Slave of the Martyr." And the violent cycle of radical Islamic conversions in the prisons comes full circle and continues."

"Incredible. They bought his "I didn't know they were in there" explanation?! Does that work for us non-Muslims, when we get caught taking guns through airport security?"

"Yup, this is Janet Napolitano's girlfriend's institution. And so is ICE. Good luck, America."

To use the false left-right paradigm is to completely miss the point. Neo-cons like McCain would have been far worse and probably would have provoked Iran conflict by now.

Congressional Hearing Reveals US Intelligence Agencies Shielded Flt 253 Bomber

A January 27 hearing of the House Committee on Homeland Security established that US intelligence agencies stopped the State Department from revoking the US visa of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. The Nigerian student, whom US officials suspected of being affiliated with the Yemeni terrorist group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, attempted to set off a bomb on Northwest Flight 253 into Detroit on Christmas Day. Revocation of Abdulmutallab's visa would have prevented him from boarding the airplane.

The hearing was reported in a brief article posted January 27 on the web site of the Detroit News, headlined, "Terror Suspect Kept Visa to Avoid Tipping Off Larger Investigation."

Kennedy confirmed that all US intelligence agencies received warnings that Abdulmutallab was training with terrorists in Yemen. He noted that the initial diplomatic cable from Abuja misspelled Abdulmutallab's name. However, Kennedy continued, "At the same time, the Consular Section entered Abdulmutallab into the Consular Lookout and Support System database known as CLASS The CLASS entry resulted in a lookout using the correct spelling that was shared automatically with the primary lookout system used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and accessible to other agencies."
