Underwear Bomber and Unanswered Questions ('Shock News' Covered-Up?)

[WhiskeyGirl]

There are so many unanswered questions.  Where is the shocking news?

What exactly are Obama’s high standards?  What does the paper/procedure trail look like since January 2009?

What’s the real story behind Michael Leiter & the ski trip?  Why would someone APPEAR so uninterested?  How many times in the past year, has Michael Leiter been contacted? 

First, it was a communication problem in our foreign offices.  Later, we find out the government knew while the underwear bomber was in the air, that he was on the ‘list’, and nobody alerted the airline/pilot/crew. 

Who made that decision?  Why?

How many times have people on the list been flying?

Did Leiter just ignore this case, just another false alarm? 

Who is the one calling Leiter?  An Obama appointee?  A call screener?

I find it hard to believe that anyone would APPEAR apathetic towards terrorists and the safety of Americans.

However, we have Homeland Security that seems to target veterans and religious Americans.

Who in the Obama administration will get fired the next time someone robs a 7-11?

The Obama administration is blind to words like terrorism and targets our intelligence and military men and women when they do their duty.

Obama gives Interpol immunity…

Wouldn’t it be nice if Obama gave immunity to Americans, our intelligence and military when they do their job?

Why isn’t the safety of American’s job one?

What is the shocking news?

So many unanswered questions.

This is the same Obama administration that ignores violence, drug and human trafficing along the border with Mexico.

This is the same Obama administration that ignores the problems created by illegal aliens.

This is the same Obama administration that ignores identity and welfare fraud, waste, and abuse.

This is the same Obama administration that seems to be gutting any remaining border security and open the borders for all kinds of naughty people.

This is the same Obama administration that wants to eliminate programs that work, like E-Verify and the Real ID Act of 2005.

Is Congress sending him just the bills he wants?

Christmas Day underwear bomber pleads guilty
October 12, 2011

Accused underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including conspiring to commit terrorism, in a major surprise on the second day of his trial.
U.S. officials called the successful conviction a sign that terrorism can be dealt with in civilian courts.

No sooner had proceedings gotten under way in U.S. District Court in Detroit than Judge Nancy Edmunds called a 45-minute recess to take up an important matter.
When Abdulmutallab returned, his standby defense lawyer, Anthony Chambers, said his client had decided to plead guilty - as charged.

Abdulmutallab, in fluent English, then read from a lengthy statement saying he was guilty under U.S. law, but not under Islamic law, for the crimes charged.

He said he tried to carry out the bombing in retaliation for the murder of innocent civilians by the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Israel and elsewhere.

He warned that a calamity would befall the U.S. if it continued to murder innocent Muslims worldwide

"If you laugh at us now, we will laugh at you later," he said in the statement.

He said committing jihad against the United States is one of "the most virtuous acts" a Muslim can perform.

Edmunds set his sentencing for Jan. 12.

U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said the guilty plea shows that terrorism suspects can be dealt with in civilian courts.

"Civilian courts are an appropriate tool for bringing terrorists to justice," she said.

McQuade also stressed that the terror case, and the defendant's beliefs, are not reflective of the Muslim community. The nature of Abdulmutallab's plea — which he gave calmly, in open court — proves to the world the fairness of the American justice system, she said.

"He wasn't tortured to give a plea. He actually admitted it in open court," she said.

Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement: "Contrary to what some have claimed, today's plea removes any doubt that our courts are one of the most effective tools we have to fight terrorism and keep the American people safe.
