The American Thinker has posted a transcript of a 2002 interview of Eric Holder on CNN regarding the interrogration of unlawful combatants. In the interview, he states:
"It seems to me that given the way in which they have conducted themselves, however, that they are not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention. They are not prisoners of war. If, for instance, Mohamed Atta had survived the attack on the World Trade Center, would we now be calling him a prisoner of war? I think not. Should Zacarias Moussaoui be called a prisoner of war? Again, I think not."
To politicize the events after 911 is a serious mistake. Does anyone remember the big ongoing story that dominated the news on September 10, 2001? It was the murder of Chandra Levy and the suspicion that Congressman Gary Condit was involved. Did anyone remember that story after the morning of September 11th? We are doing the same thing now--we are focusing on trivia and ignoring the big picture of the terrorists who continue to plot against us. The moves that the Obama Administration are currently making almost surely guarantee that we will not have the intelligence to prevent a future attack.
