A Senate Republican aide tells National Review Online that Holder's response was released within hours of Senate Republicans' formal request that Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) call on Holder to testify before the body. It was Holder's first public response to a series of four GOP letters on terrorism policy that date back eight months, according to Republicans.
So he and his buttmonkeys delay and delay until he basically has no choice, THEN he admits to this being his responsibility.
And also that Obama was right in the middle of it:
In the days following December 25 — including during a meeting with the President and other senior members of his national security team on January 5 — high-level discussions ensued within the Administration in which the possibility of detaining Mr. Abdulmutallab under the law of war was explicitly discussed. No agency supported the use of law of war detention for Abdulmutallab, and no agency has since advised the Department of Justice that an alternative course of action should have been, or should now be, pursued.
Yeah. Those other agencies also run by Obama appointees and such had a problem with this decision; that just makes it all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?
