Bush Wars Title: Lieberman Rips FBI For Respecting USCON Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is joining Republicans in ripping the FBI for reading Miranda rights to the would-be airline bomber, saying the administration made a mistake and should transfer Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab to military custody.
“We write to urge the administration to immediately transfer Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, a foreign terrorist, to the Department of Defense to be held as an unprivileged enemy belligerent (UEB) and questioned and charged accordingly,” said Lieberman, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, in a letter to President Barack Obama on Monday. Ranking member Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) also signed the letter.
Two dozen other Republicans signed a similar letter earlier this month.
“The decision to treat Abdul Mutallab as a criminal rather than a UEB almost certainly prevented the military and the intelligence community from obtaining information that would have been critical to learning more about how our enemy operates and to preventing future attacks against our homeland and Americans and our allies throughout the world,” Lieberman and Collins continued. “The administration can reverse this error, at least to some degree, by immediately transferring Abdul Mutallab to the Department of Defense.”
In a hearing last week, intelligence officials — including Director of Intelligence Dennis Blair and National Counterterrorism Center Director Michael Leiter — admitted that intelligence officials were not consulted before FBI agents decided to read Abdul Mutallab his Miranda rights. Blair said he thought a new Obama law enforcement team charged with interrogating high-value detainees should have made the call — but that unit is not yet operational.

A) The USCON is not an optional document....it creates the rules the US government MUST follow. B) We supposedly declared war on terror. How could anyone engaging in it be outisde the parameters of what we've declared war on? gopqueefingroom.com #2. To: war (#1) Where in the Constitution does is say we should commit suicide if Muslomaniacs don't like us?
#3. To: Client 9 (#2) Wherein the USCON is the US government empowered to designate various classes of persons in how it exercises its power? gopqueefingroom.com #4. To: war (#3) Oh I get it now, every POTUS up until your boy Barry came along violated the Constitution by not giving terrorists and foreign combatants the same rights Americans get. Bra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ha, you True Believers are a hoot.
#5. To: Client 9 (#4) (Edited) You get dick, Bot. I didn't and don't want Gitmo opened in the first place. I didn't and don't want "unlawful enemy combatants" to be a valid claim of the government. You have it in your mind that because I oppose YOU in your Blood Lust that I somehow support that which you OPPOSE. When it comes to WOT, Obama has acted EXACTLY as I predicted he would which was that he would continue the policies of the Boy Blunder and thus I could not support his candidacy. You're big for pinging me to a site at which I cannot post...ping meguro to this post...I warned him last year that Obama wasn't going to change anything... The US is a fascist state...we are not self governing we are governed by corporate interests. Government at all levels is a game of musical chairs between the seats of business interests and seats of power. They play out their charade on the floor of the Congress...they rail out against each other...pretend to fight each other's proposals and then they retreat to the squash court or the basketball court or the golf course or Arnie Morten's...profiteering off of war used to be a felony..now it's part of the Dow Jones...the SCOTUS has validated this transformation by extending the penumbra of the first amendment not to a person but to a "thing". All I want is for the government to obey it's rules which are de jure limits on its power. It's disingenuous for you BOTS to claim that the backdraft from our government doing what it isn't empowered to do needs to be dealt with by our government in as equal an unlawful fashion. gopqueefingroom.com #6. To: war (#5) All I want is for the government to obey it's rules seize and redistribute other peoples money, and let your and Obambi's jihaddi friends kill us.
#7. To: Happy Quanzaa (#6) As you can see, he's quite insane.
#8. To: Happy Quanzaa (#6) seize and redistribute other peoples money Feel free to link me to a post in which I so advocated... gopqueefingroom.com #9. To: Badeye (#7) (Edited) As you can see, he's quite insane. I'd rather be insane than look like you, basslips...I can see how giving yourself hummers made them poot out like that but then how do you explain the rest of that face? Momma mistook you for the ironing? gopqueefingroom.com #10. To: war (#9) (laughing) sure, nutcase, sure.
#11. To: Badeye (#10) Heckuva response there, basslips...someone else needed the computer or does JR needs a hummer over on FR? gopqueefingroom.com #12. To: war (#11) Sure nutcase, sure. Still pretending Long Island is Manhatten? (laughing)
#13. To: Badeye (#12) Still pretending Long Island is Manhatten? You need to stop living in the past and get a life. You got beat and beat but good, badeye. You dug your own grave. You made your own bed. You sliced your own sandwich...however you want to look at it. You couldn't take being made out to be a common fool so ever since you've had to make yourself into an uncommon one. It's time for you to let it go. When I contacted you at FR because you HAD to post my name and Goldi's name in your profile I told you specifically that I was willing to let the past go and good luck to you going forward. You responded like the total asshole that you are. That is, until I pointed out that I had cc'd JR to that email. Then your attitude totally changed. That fact right there sums you up perfectly. Now you're here looking to settle an old score that just cannot be settled. The game was played and you lost. You looking for someone to blame? Blame yourself. You have no self control. You're an asshole. And your football team sucks. Deal with it. Or don't...I could care less... gopqueefingroom.com #14. To: war (#13) Still pretending Long Island is Manhatten?
