#1 USA Today's editorial writers say that when senior administration officials revealed Abdulmutallab's cooperation with authorities, "the news pretty much negate(d) earlier claims that no intelligence was lost when Abdulmutallab was prematurely read his rights."

The statement "cooperating with authorities" could mean he willingly pulled on his new orange jailhouse ensemble. Must we drag the heads of the intelligence community before the congress once again, to discover the extent of his alleged cooperation?

#4 They told me that if I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin, we'd end up with a paranoid in the White House. I voted for them anyway.

Look what happened!

#5 That was also true when they were calling Gerge W Bush BushHaliburtonnHitler, when they told it was a war for oil, that 19-11 was an inside job, when they were telling that Islamists were nice guys stirred by eeeeeevil USA. I also had the impression that a such Obalma was one of thse critics, had plenty of them between his friends and sat while a Reverend Wright was telling America had it coming.

#6 "I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration. "

--Hilary Clinton

I think BigO is correct, but the democrat party lost the right to that argument long ago.

IMHO, it was true then, but not true now.

I believe the entire comparison is off-base.

FWIW, most of BO's conservative critics are calling him a baby-killing war criminal for wanting to do anything in Afghanistan to begin with; most of the discussion is about tactics to begin with.

That's very muted compared to the comparisons he drew himself over the past decade.

And I meant to say "aren't" above, not "are." It's hard to focus when you're stuck on the computer with ye olde pop-up virus.

#10 Brennan is lashing back because he knows he and the rest of the O-Admin F*cked up on this and past incidents. They are amateurs, more competent at throwing stones than doing the heavy lifting and taking heat from their nutty base. He should apologize, then resign for mischaracterizing the info to Rep leaders on Abdulmutallab's capture. He's a liar

That would require character, Frank, and he ain't got any.
