Counterterrorism Czar Brennan Draws Fire for Comments on Gitmo Recidivism

As far as I’m concerned, these terrorist trials are the least important thing in the world. Just try them and hang them. Quit the stupid partisan bickering! Enough already!

This cavalier attitude permeates this adminstration. We are all in jeopardy.

Same old paranoid extremism – the Republican right pushing the propaganda that anyone else but them running things puts the country in grave danger of attack or collapse.
It’s fear mongering Republican right hogwash – yet again. Twisted.

There’s no doubt that Mrs. Palin is not fit to be President. But after seeing Mr. Obama in action for a little more than a year, America will not be hurt any further if we give Mrs. Palin a turn.

Well, Graham can be happy that the recidivism all happened under the previous administration.
Not one happened under this one, after they changed the procedures to make it more rigorous and tight.

Golly gee! would you look at the ABC headlines!!!….”GOP attacks”, “Cheney attacks” …Grab your flak-jackets and head for the hills!

Who is Mr Brennan, you ask?
Well he happens to be the head of a security company whose employee “cauterized” Barack Obama’s passport file in early 2008 9 the employee also rifled thorugh Mccain’s and Hillary’s as a diversion–only Obama’s was purged.
From NewsMax:
>>Obama’s Intelligence Adviser Involved in Security Breach
Monday, January 12, 2009 1:46 PM
Obama’s top terrorism and intelligence adviser, John O. Brennan, heads a firm that was cited in March for breaching sensitive files in the State Department’s passport office, according to a State Department Inspector General’s report released this past July.
The security breach, first reported by the Washington Times and later confirmed by State Department spokesman Sean McCormack, involved a contract employee of Brennan’s firm, The Analysis Corp., which has earned millions of dollars providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies and private companies.
During a State Department briefing on March 21, 2008, McCormack confirmed that the contractor had accessed the passport files of presidential candidates Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John McCain, and that the inspector general had launched an investigation.
Interesting , eh?
What do you say Jake Tapper?

JAKE??
Say it isn’t so! You edited OUT the below line from the above NewsMax story about Brennan’s firm cauterizing Obama’s passport file??
What in the H is going on with JOURNALISTS nowadays?????
Be standup! Stop protecting Obama, chips must fall where the facts lead! Honesty, let’s see honesty man!
You or your staff JUST removed this line from my previous post:
“Sources who tracked the investigation tell Newsmax that the main target of the breach was the Obama passport file, and that the contractor accessed the file in order to “cauterize” the records of potentially embarrassing information.”

I thought all you Obama supporters wanted ALL Guantanamo detainees to go home? (and of course rejoin the war against the civilized world) Now, you boast that none of your releases(a lie) have engaged in criminal activity? Which way do you want it Democrats? Whatever suits their argument on a given day is the answer.

Brennan is also the guy who said “the system worked 364 days out of 365 – it only failed on Christmas Day” (he conveniently ignores Ft. Hood and the Arkansas Recruitment center). He sounds like Jack Nicholson in “Mars Attacks” after the Martians destroy the White House: “I want the American People to know that they still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for them, and that ain’t bad”.
The man has a big problem, and frankly I do not trust my safety and the safety of my family to him.
He has to go.

I think Congress should draft and pass a bill to ban the use of the word “change” , “bipartisanship”, and “both sides of the aisle”. Since we elected prolific lying Mr. Obama, there’s really no change. We have distrust the government more since Mr. Obama became President.

Protecting and glorifying the enemies of America, it is what Liberals do.
No thug, killer or dictator is beyong the adoration of the Left if they will only join in the hatred of regular America.

With idiotic ideas like this, more legislation more useless laws motivated by people who would censor the wise, we’d be stuck in 100 years of repression and political malfeasance.

Another clueless incompetent, what else would you expect from the amateur-hour Obama administration? I don’t even have the patience anymore to comment, these people leave me speechless.

It was a Republican administration that gave chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein.
It was a Republican administration that gave money to Osama Bin Laden to recruit mujahideen in Afghanistan.
It was a Republican administration that started Irans nuclear program under the Shah.

I’ve got a “FLASH” for you Flash Override. It was Democrat Charlie Wilson and the democratic controlled congress that got Bin Laden and the now so called Taliban the weapons to fight Russia. Nuclear capability was obtained from the Russians and French, not the U.S. The former Shah of Iran was sold fighters and other weapons. NOT nuclear capabilities! Get your BS together and know you facts before spreading lies.

Biden has been released.
Eric Holder hidden away.
Brennan may join him soon.

Dr. William Petit’s wife and daughters were killed by recidivists.
Dr. Petit would likely have an issue with Brennan on 20% being an accetpable number.
They should not be released. Period.

BRENNAN: “…all of these cases relate to detainees released during the previous administration and under the prior detainee review process.”
There is a difference between being “released” and “transferred.” “Released” means the detainees were freed. “Transferred” means they were transferred to other countries with restrictions (some are incarcerated in those countries, while others are monitored or have travel limitations).
By March 2009, 520 detainees had been either transferred or released. During the Bush Administration, the overwhelming majority of the detainees were “transferred.” And many of the “released” detainees were ordered released by the federal courts. (NOTE: It is possible that some detainees who were ordered to be released were actually “transferred” instead.)
Now the question is does the 20% recidivism rate apply to only those “released” or does it also include those “transferred.” AND what is the recidivism rate of those whom the Bush Administration “released” without a court order, compared to the recidivism rate of those whom the courts ordered “released?”

GOP Attacks – if we could go one day without that headline, this country would be a much better place. Don’t even read the articles anymore because I know the song and dance. And it’s getting very tiresome. If only they just act instead of attack. Now, that would be a headline.

idiots in charge of our security.

illuminated so clearly by Bush/Cheney et al., ‘in charge’ when the Sept 11th attacks happened….

This hoof in mouth seems rampant in this administration.. like.. how dumb are these sycophants?

Oh puleeze! This guy like Podesta, Rahm, all of the czars are just incompetent naifs under the spell of Obama as they dis the former Admin. Who btw, had us all safe, even these dunces. Now in one yer, this dolt in the WH has had 3 terror incidents and has not explained any of them: when was the last time you heard about the Islamist at Ft. Hood. And Biden and Brennan are a team wondering if military trials are really the best with…foreign terrorists. This inept Admin. is going to get us all killed, even the liberal lemmings who actually believe these socialist pacifists.

More hogwash from the Republican right – who claim as usual that they, and only they, can run the country properly. Everyone else will DESTROY it!
Fear mongering and arrogance of the worst kind.
Under the last Republican president, North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon, Iran developed a secret nuclear facility, Bin Laden and al Qaeda escaped in Afghanistan, 9/11 happened, the shoe bomber happened, the anthrax attacks took place, tens of thousands were killed or maimed looking for weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist and on and on . . . Republicans are as bad, if not far, far worse . ..
Quit your fear mongering.
You have no record to rest

Mr. Brennan reminds me strongly of some blowhard bullies I have known.

Brennan and Obama sent hard core terrorists to yemen to be freed. Six of them were freed.
Obama released these terrorists to yemen including some who fought with bin laden in tora bora.
They were released to Yemen even after the fort hood attack and the fact that a radical cleric was operating in yemen.
Obama had Brennan go to yemen and try to install a similiar plan that the saudis used which was known to have already been a failure. Obama had Brennan go to the Saudi Arabia and wanted saudis to take even some so the yemen detainees even though their system of release was a failure.
Obama released the six hard core yemen terrorists because only one was under legal appeal and instead of appealing obama respects his lefty judges so much he released all six back to yemen the worst place to release them.

Condi Rice said similar comments about recidivism during the bush admin, where was the outrage then. And Bush-Cheney released the detainees that planned the christmas bombing in Yemen. If you didn’t criticize the previous admin for this then you are just being a hypocrite.
