Justice Department on So-called ”Al Qaeda Seven”: We Will Not Participate in An Attempt to Drag People’s Names Through the Mud

Team Obama
Culture of Corruption
Eric Holder..Attorney General
Obama VS America

wow…isnt this the most lovely group of folks you guys put in charge? who would have thunk that someone who hangs out with a domestic terrorist, world renowned socialists and attends a church for 20 years whose pastors spews hatred for america, never held a for profit job would have trouble governing in this country?

==============================
This could only come from the radical leftists Saul Alinsky groupie – Barack Obama. Seven US Justice Department appointees are terrorist sympathizers.
==============================
Under normal circulstances, this would be considered treason. But we all know Obama is on a mission to distroy the America we know and love.
==============================

Team Bush….nothing but Corruption. America is the Land of Laws…now the right wingnuts are trying to change it back to “lynching” and how they did it to their own citizens for decades. AMERICA HAS LAWS. AND EVERYONE ACCUSED OF A CRIME IS ENTITLED TO REPRESENTATION!

Why abc even covers this kind of right wing extremism is beyond me. They’re just trying to score cheap political points – another attempt to try to present the Republicans as the only ones ‘tough on terrorism’ – which is complete nonsense. Bin Laden and al Qaeda escaped on the Bush watch in Afghanistan, North Korea developed its first nuclear weapon on Bush’s watch . .. etc.

Clearly, the Spawn of Joe McCarthy continue to multiply. Why are these people so fearful of the Constitution and its legal protections? Adams represented British soldiers. The Defendants at Neuremburg got counsel. Of course, Liz Cheney wasn’t around then trying to fund her personal PAC.

What is the point of this? Are we going to allow lawyers to be blacklisted because of their clients? Are we going to try to punish people because they believe in the code of conduct of their profession?
How utterly un-American.

So lawyers who were supporting terrorists are now prosecuting terrorists? And some posters here don’t see a conflict of interest? Really?

Another good point from the article by Adam Serwer:
“The right is treating the lawyers who came up with the justification for torture as heroes, and the lawyers like Katyal who helped restore the rule of law as villains,” says Frakt. “They’ve just got their heads screwed on backwards.”

Any balanced presentation of this story should begin calling these people the John Adams 7 as well. John Adams defended the British soldiers who were part of the Boston Massacre and he got them acquitted!

Nice! I like that as this whole witch hunt is really disturbing me. What an insiduous and repugnant ad.
Glenn Greenwald also has a nice article posted at Salon called “The lawyers Liz Cheney smeared” and he makes this point:
“It’s the type of McCarthyite act which would, if we had any minimal standards in our political culture, result in the shunning of Cheney and Kristol by all decent people (instead, it will likely land the Vice President’s daughter on multiple Sunday talk shows where she can pose as an expert on national security).”
In an update he mentions John Adams as well and writes: ” Adams called his defense of those enemy soldiers “one of the most gallant, generous, manly, and disinterested actions of my whole life, and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country.” Imagine the ads Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol would have produced about him. As always, those who most flamboyantly and shrilly anoint themselves Arbiters of American Patriotism wage the most vicious wars on its core principles.”

The democrats have done this for years to tobacoo lawyers, those who joined the Federalist Society, or those who went to a conservative law school. In fact, the Washington Post had an article last year that the government wanted to purge the government of people Bush appointed who were conservatives.
Holder has made some whacky decisions. I am more concerned about his decision to dismiss the New Black Panther Party charges.
Remember, Holder also agreed to the release of the Lockerbie Bomber to Libyia and he assured us the guy was going to be dead from prostate cancer in 3 months. The Lockerbie Bomber is still alive and thriving in Libyia, and also has $3 million in his bank account.
Those terrorist lawyers no doubt had a part in agreeing to this arrangement based on their skewed belief that terrorists are truthful and just misunderstood.

Joseph Nobles:
John Adams defended the principles that would later be solidified through formation of the Constitution of the United States!
These detainees wish nothing more than harm upon us. They have no rights, never have and never will.
And rather than watching movies on HBO, you should read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, instead.
One document you should pay very close attention to is the Declarion of Independence. In this document Jefferson listed the offenses of the tyrant king. Amoung his many offenses, was one we can relate to now, it states, “For quarting large bodies of troops amoung us”, “For protecting them by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states.”
In addition, it is also a violation of the constitution to give aid and comfort to our enemies.
Now, if this doesn’t clear things up for you, then obviously nothing will.
As Jefferson and others said so eloquently of the king, “these acts define a tyrant.” they go on to say, “In every stage of these Oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
Sir, I have long studied John Adams, and Eric Holder, is NO John Adams.
You should read more, and watch t.v less.

They must be members of Officials Anonymous.. or the names have been changed to protect the official.

It’s called the ‘Justice’ department.. after all..

Liberals are abject cowards

Odd its not the DNC powerpoint presentation targeting “fear”as a prime motivator for its base then.
LOL.
Odd also that its not the liberals running from the liberal ideas our country was found on, or the truth about John Adams, one of our founding fathers.
Even the Republican party knows who the real cowards are, and they’ll exploit that out of greed and lust for power.

Is there any way we can get Sarah Palin on the “Domestic Terrorist” watch list?

I think it is important to know who these lawyers are because it is important to know who is affecting American legal policies. Policies that future Presidents will rely on. It is not like there has not been cases of lawyers going beyond being advocates for their clients but also becoming advocates for their causes and breaking laws in the process. If these lawyers were arguing from core beliefs for their clients, then changing jobs would not change those core beliefs and they would bring them those beliefs with them when now trying to argue for their new client the Government. Eric Holder has made some questionable decisions and people are trying to gain insight into how he came to those decisions.

“Sorry, but the number of al Qaeda fellow travelers working for Holder is not limited to the Al Qaeda Nine. Holder’s team is chock full of leftist militants sympathetic to al Qaeda and it’s America hating agenda.”
Looks like the McCarthyism comparisons are quite accurate. It’s unfortunate that so many Americans are so eager to swallow the far right’s tripe.
