Andrew McCarthy has some change you can believe in:
That’s our new counterterrorism approach: Release the terrorist who planned mass-murder attacks against U.S. cities but investigate the CIA agents who prevented mass-murder attacks against U.S. cities. I suppose that’s what happens when control of the Justice Department shifts from the lawyers who spent the last eight years going after the terrorists to the lawyers who spent the last eight years representing the terrorists. That certainly is Change.
It’s not actually a “counterterrorism” approach anymore either, I don’t think. It’s a counter-man made disaster approach.
You’ve got to keep up.
Udpate: Plus! You might be a redneck an Islamophobe. Answer these questions to find out.
Kimberly Strassel’s column in the same paper is telling too, predicting how Panetta and the rest of the CIA will be thrown under BHO’s bus.
It has been attributed to Orwell that “good men sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” But what happens when the so-called “good men” do violence on those who have given them that peaceable sleep? But then the question is raised: Is this administration made up of “good men”?
I wonder.
I despair for our country.

You WONDER??
This will just be another stimulus plan for lawyers. The CIA has announced they will pick up the tab for defense lawyers for agents investigated. Of course Justice will pay the investigators and will hire some outside firms with an unlimited budget to “probe”.
Our grandchildren get to pick up the tab, as usual.
To what great aim? To serve what great purpose?
Washington politics as usual – some change we got here.

Yeah, the kind we really can “BELIEVE” in…
One can only hope that this dog bites/mauls/forcibly amputates the hand that feeds it. I can think a lot of poetic justice thoughts, just can’t put them on the web for fear of being reported and visited by Eric Holder’s thugs. The son of my grad school roomie works for the Agency and says the attitude is now a hunker down mentality with fears of evisceration for covert side. Blackwater neh Xe is probably gonna be awash in resumes.
Hey, I can double up! I’m a redneck AND an Islamophobe!!!
Byron, anyone with a brain these days is a redneck and Islamophobe. You are in very good company!
Quartermaster,
I think you need to change your statement.
How about “anyone with above a room temperature I.Q. these days is a redneck and Islamophobe”
I don’t know If I would go quite that far
There are a few leftists with an IQ above room temp that I would not regard has having a brain.
According to that quiz, I too am a complete Islamophobe. But I didn’t have to tell you guys that. We had a deep discussion here some months ago where I de-closeted myself, [politically, I hasten to add.] I really hate political correctitude in all of its aspects, and literally cannot imagine respecting folks who disrespect our military men and women. In fact, they make my blood boil. One gets less and less tolerance for bulls**t as one gets older. And I’m pretty old in people years.
We’ve talked about Jealousy and Envy before here. The ugliest kind of Envy is that which disrespects someone who is stronger, braver, wiser, more heroic than one will ever be. And there are a lot of folks like that. I can’t understand modern Western feminists who ignore and gloss over institutionalized consistent brutality to women under Islam as if it didn’t exist. It seems to me that the sole country in the Middle East worth saving is Israel. And we all know how our current Administration feels about that.
Pernicious Envy again. One of the deadliest sins.

Proud Islamophobe!
