Great job o' shootin'-yourselves-in-the-foot....again....Republicans!
"The timing of events during the arrest, initial interrogation and medical treatment of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was made available after Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) made statements about the process that administration officials believe are misleading. "It makes no sense to get a guy off an airplane who just tried to blow up the airplane and read him his rights within 50 minutes," Graham said in an interview on Fox News.
Graham is one of several Republicans who have cited the handling of Abdulmutallab as an example of what they see as the administration's faulty response to a terrorist assault on a U.S. airliner. On Feb. 3, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the American people and Congress wanted to know "why an al-Qaeda-trained terrorist fresh from Yemen and caught in the act of an attempt to blow up an airliner was handed over to a lawyer after a 50-minute interview."
(I'd like to know why...only Gay-Republicans are the ones gettin' all the press.)
11:38 a.m., Dec. 25: Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam crosses into U.S. airspace. Six minutes later Abdulmutallab allegedly attempts to detonate a bomb concealed in his underwear. It causes a fire that is extinguished, and within three minutes the Nigerian is subdued.
9 p.m.: New FBI agents meet with Abdulmutallab in his hospital room. He says he will not answer their questions and "acted like a jihadi," the chronology states. He is read his Miranda rights.
