Feds Admit To 2nd Detroit Airliner Arrest

Turns out the Haskell's and the Internet were correct. Of course, if this news were only being confirmed now by the Feds under Bush, Andrew would swear Cheney has him locked up in his basement close to the sink down there. One other question below.

Detroit -- A federal customs and border protection official reversed himself today, admitting a passenger from Northwest Flight 253 was placed in handcuffs, searched and released after a canine alerted officers to his carry-on luggage.

Ronald G. Smith, chief U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer in the Detroit area, sent an email to The Detroit News late Thursday apologizing that the information on the passenger -- which was reported to federal investigators by a pair of Taylor attorneys who were passengers on the flight -- was not made available earlier.

Federal officials had denied the details of the incident despite repeated accounts by attorneys Kurt and Lori Haskell of Taylor who say they saw a man get questioned by federal officials and be led away from the airport baggage area in handcuffs after a sniffer dog reacted to something in the man's carry-on luggage.

Given that Obama has now played judge, jury and executioner for Abdulmutallab in his national radio address, how is it we are supposed to walk him into Federal Court and give him a fair trial? If we stand our justice system on its head to nail this guy, something is bound to fall out.

“We know that [Abdulmutallab] travelled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies,” Obama says. “It appears that he joined an affiliate of al-Qaeda, and that this group, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America.”

Obama always qualifies his spin to put it into the context that he knows the liberal media will like and not follow up on with probing questions. Plus he needs to fan the flame of excuses for terrorism otherwise the left's whole reason for being sympathetic to it erodes. He could have said the same thing sans the poverty remark and made his point! However, that would not have made him FEEL good so once again its about Obama.

"how is it we are supposed to walk him into Federal Court and give him a fair trial?"
A: They'll probably find a jury of his peers in Dearborn(istan).
"If we stand our justice system on its head to nail this guy, something is bound to fall out."
Agreed.
