Public opinion is erupting over the Obama Administration's feckless or perhaps treacherous decision to move Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and some others from the Islamic Merry Band of Lunatics within our borders for trial, almost certainly with all of the rights of American citizens. Many people will be writing of this in the coming days, but we should not forget the gutless Republicans who voted to confirm an obviously corrupt Attorney General nominee, the current Attorney General Eric Holder (see
this article by National Review's Andrew McCarthy), because they were afraid to oppose a nominee who is black. They were
Alexander (R-TN)
Bennett (R-UT)
Bond (R-MO)
Chambliss (R-Ga)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Graham (R-SC)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Isakson (R-GA)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lugar (R-IN)
McCain (R-AZ)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Sessions (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Specter (R-PA)
Voinovich (R-OH)
Eric Holder, of course, is an American
Wilhelm Keitel, a man who will unhesitatingly carry out any order from his chief, no matter how distasteful or morally deplorable. He deserves the criticism he's getting today, but these Republican weaklings who put their own cowardice ahead of their country's welfare bear some of the blame, as well.
Let's not let them forget it.
