   Politico & other MSM outlets frame these lawyers as “Bush administration” lawyers, many of whom were leakers to MSM and really anti-Bush lawyers.

   Powerline people nowadays are becoming more like LGF ever since their candidate TeePaw lost steam.

   Liz Cheney should be applauded indeed.

   Where’s our present day Joe McCarthy in the GOP? The Emperor has no clothes, about time somebody pointed that out. Thanks MM, you’re the shout heard in the maelstrom.

   Now, instead of asking why the most transparent administration ever didn’t just disclose the identities of those lawyers for the American public and instead of getting to the bottom of why Holder sought to protect them from exposure, Keep America Safe is under attack by the ACLU, some Bush administration lawyers, and the ABA for being too “divisive.”

   “some Bush administration lawyers” … Ken Starr? Ted Olson? These are not wishy washy RINO’s. They’re smart people.

   This is an ideological battle

   Absolutely!

   And there can be no “Peace” when the other side is at war with you.

   We are defacto at war, whether or not we want to be, because both foreign and domestic enemies are at war against us.

   What matters is not whether my father is a fanatic or not, he’s doing the will of a fanatic God. It doesn’t matter if he’s a terrorist or a traditional Muslim. At the end of the day a traditional Muslim is doing the will of a fanatic, fundamentalist, terrorist God. I know this is harsh to say. Most governments avoid this subject. They don’t want to admit this is an ideological war.

   The First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion; it protects the freedom of religious speech, religious press, peaceful religious assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of religious grievances.

   (Of course, the First Amendment also protects those same activities when done for secular, not religious, purposes. But the very intent of the 1st Amendment was to protect freedom of peaceful religious expression in all of its forms: spoken, written, assembly, etc. Those freedoms had been taken away from some of the founders’ ancestors by the state-run Church of England.)

   But the 1st Amendment does not protect treason. Anyone who tries to subvert our Consitution (including those who want to subvert the Constitution to Sharia Law) are enemies of our Constitution.

    Indeed.

    Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as [Senator] Joe McCarthy contended.

    Uh, somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t DOJ employees paid by us, the taxpayers? Why shouldn’t we the people have the right to know? The ACLU thinks that Gitmo terrorists have the right to know who CIA interrogators are. I’m shocked, shocked that the ACLU is not on board with this.

    George Washington on questioning patriotism:

    With such powerful and obvious motives to Union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason, to distrust the patriotism of those, who in any quarter may endeavor to weaken its bands.

    …

    Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men & citizens.

    …

    …guard against the Impostures of pretended patriotism…

    So when Blackbeard captures ships and steals the gold, he’s money hungry, but when Muslims capture ships and steal the gold, they’re terrorists? No matter what that ambassador may have told Jefferson, the Barbary Wars were fought over dollars, not jihad.

    It is said that sunlight is the best disinfectant. If the Justice Department had nothing to hide, it would have published the names of the lawyers at issue voluntarily. Disinterested, dedicated attorneys perform their professional responsibilities without fear or favor. One of the best known examples is that of Samuel Liebowitz, who had a long record of successfully defending some of the most vicious mobsters. However, once he was appointed to a judgeship, he became “Maximum Sam,” sending the same people he once defended to the electric chair or to life sentences. If the professionalism of the lawyers at issue is exemplary, the failure to disclose their identities unfairly impugns their standing and thereby does them harm. Either way, whether they are conflicted or not, Holder has shown his incompetence as an administrator.

    This column by Marc Thiessen hits the nail on the head:
    

    Would most Americans want to know if the Justice Department had hired a bunch of mob lawyers and put them in charge of mob cases? Or a group of drug cartel lawyers and put them in charge of drug cases? Would they want their elected representatives to find out who these lawyers were, which mob bosses and drug lords they had worked for, and what roles they were now playing at the Justice Department? Of course they would — and rightly so.
    Yet Attorney General Eric Holder hired former al-Qaeda lawyers to serve in the Justice Department and resisted providing Congress this basic information.

    Yes, and the Barbary Pirates were aptly named, for they were very barbaric.

    Times have never changed. The U.S. policy was we did not negotiate with kidnappers. The European countries routinely paid ransom to get their people released.

    We paid ransom until we chose to spend money on a Navy instead of ransom.

    Indeed, they did their job well. Against jihadists, you must either fight well or pay well. Our Marines fought well.

    Well, hell, yes, the planned Gitmo closure, civilian trials for high-value jihadi suspects, and transparency-undermining Eric Holder’s interest-conflicted DOJ are “divisive” topics.

    Awww, c’mon Michelle, it’s only divisive if you are bitterly clinging to the way America used to be rather than the way Obowma wants to change it.

    Having swung wildly at the wrong targets they are now crying foul when someone else takes away “their stick” and asks for their names.

    The American people have a right and a duty to hold these people accountable and for the truth to shine fully on their dangerous political game.
