Jeffrey is a hack, employed by a bunch of hysterical Obama-haters.
And Binky, they just *LOVE* suckers like you.


Terry Jeffrey's Feb. 3 CNSNews.com column was the kind of attack on
President Obama we've come to expect from his news organization. This time
he asserted that Obama is hiding "the facts about who decided what and
when" regarding the arrest and questioning of accused underwear bomber Umar
Farouk Abdulmutallab and that he either "acted with gross negligence or
with gross stupidity" in allowing Abdulmutallab to be Mirandized, after
"the FBI had only been able to question Abdulmutallab for 50 minutes."

Then Jeffrey's attack ran into a dose of reality: The Washington Post
reported that Abdulmutallab "has been providing FBI interrogators with
useful intelligence about his training and contacts since last week."

Oops! Even Jeffrey had to concede that this pretty much undermined the
premise of his attack -- to the point that he added an "editor's note" to
the top of the column noting the Post article, een the part about how
investigators getting members of Abdulmutallab's family involved in the
process "have proved vital in getting Abdulmutallab to talk ... indicating
that it would have been counterproductive to interrogate him under military
rules, as some have suggested."

We'd suggest that Jeffrey and CNS ease up on the Obama-bashing since it
tends to be counterfactual, but unfortunately, being counterfactual isn't
exactly a deterrent to them.
