The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Partial Holder

Amazing that the NY Times could do a feature on Eric Holder that does not even mention the Black Panther case or any of a number of other controversies that already have dogged his tenure, such as overruling his own Office of Legal Counsel, running a radical-left Civil Rights division, etc. The NYT article makes it sound as if the ONLY controversy surrounding Holder is the one about terror trials - and then it buys into his self-portrayal as somebody worried only about the law and never about politics, which is COMPLETELY contradicted by multiple accounts by independent/non-ideological journalists. This is not good reporting. It's a big wet kiss to Holder. Yuck.

If I am not mistaken, he is, by definition, immune from MSM criticism as a man of color with a far left ideology.

It's not amazing, it's TYPICAL of the left's convenient and intended blindness [not only about his being appointed Attorney General; but also his influence in the Mark Rich pardon by Clinton] toward their corruption and malfeasance within the MSM, the current administration and congress. To term it amazing would appear to define these people as rational and decent, which is very far from the truth!!!!!

The trial of the Terrorist in New York City was a back door way to try the Bush/Cheney Adminstration and the CIA. Remember Obama/Holder lanched an investigation of the CIA. They knew this would not fly with the American people. So they came up with the New York City trial. This way the defense would bring out the CIA questioning of the Terrorist. We must change things in a big way this November.
