In typical fashion, Bill Kristol is upset that the attempted air plane bomber is 'lawyered up'. I guess he thinks law enforcement would have a better case against him if they just hurried up and tortured the guy. That'll help get him convicted Bill! Idiot.

WILLIAMS: I think what we know at this point -- all that we know is that this guy had not spent any large amount of time with Al Qaida. He may have visited Yemen at...

INGRAHAM: We don't know that.

WILLIAMS: ... one point. That's about it. And he may have been given the PETN and a small amount...

INGRAHAM: Well...

KRISTOL: That's enough time to possibly...

WILLIAMS: OK.

KRISTOL: ... kill -- this is the problem. This is precisely the problem. This guy has been lawyered up. We don't know anything. One reason we don't know anything -- he's not being treated like an enemy combatant. He's not being interrogated. We're not finding out everything we could know about Awlaki.

This is an ongoing attack -- enemy attempt to attack the United States, and we're treating it as a one-off law enforcement case.

1. Kristol is just mad that the guy didn't succeed. n/t

[MadMaddie]

2. Yep! You are right!

The father of the terrorist is well off what did Kristol expect? Did Kristol expect the military to charge aboard the plane? He is an idiot.

6. Yup. nt

3. Translation: If GWB was in charge, this would have been "planned for (terror) months by

al Qaeda's number (terror) 2 man" and it "was (terror) simply the grace of (terror) God that no one was hurt."

"Terror. Terror."

Sasly, that wipe really does think we are that stupid.

[niyad]

4. uhh, wasn't it just yesterday that we were being told hom talkative the guy was?

5. Kristol was hankering for a real disaster,

not just the pathetic wienie roast that actually occurred, so he could blame Obama. Of course, there is the inconvenient fact that a couple of Hot Pants' alleged accomplices were turned loose by the Bush administration a couple of years ago. Don't s'pose li'l Bill wants to talk about that.

Did the Undiebomber lawyer up? Of course. No doubt the judge appointed a public defender for him, which is what we do in these parts when a guy is accused of a crime. Any guy, any crime. Kristol is such a colossal bag of douche...

10. You are correct. These republicans

want a disaster to match 9/11 so bad, you can almost see spittle from their mouth, when they talk. I don't understand. The would not care if innocent Americans were killed just so they had talking points against Obama.

[Old and In the Way]

7. Wouldn't want to let the truth wreck a good right wing story line, right Bill?

Blowing up this incident, way out of proportion, is needed. It can't be lone nutcases who, in other times, would be labeled a sociopath. The GWOT is needed to serve the interests of perpetual war.

[HuckleB]

8. Bill Kristol is an accomplice to the attempt.

He is an accomplice to all such attempts.

9. Isn't "lawyered up" something you say when there might have been doubt about wrongdoing?

Rightwing hysteria-mongers like Kristol are Al Qaeda's greatest asset in the United States.

11. He'd rather inconvenient people just "disappeared"

like they did in the Latin American police states he so admires
