Holder has a right to his opinion, but as the nation’s top law-enforcement officer, he does not have a right to ignore the law because of his personal views.

Why does it seem that the Obama administration is operating AGAINST America?

Human rights groups criticized any move for a military trial, saying it would not provide the due process and openness needed to bring legitimacy.

As the controversy heats up over the DOJ lawyers who once represented, or advocated on behalf of, al Qaeda and Taliban members, it is worth taking a quick look at their body of work.
