Sen. Kit Bond, R-Missouri, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that John Brennan, Obama's assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism, "needs to go." Brennan contends Republicans are playing politics by criticizing the administration's decision to charge bombing suspect Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab in criminal court instead of turning him over to military interrogators. In an opinion piece published Tuesday in USA Today, Brennan accused critics of the administration's handling of AbdulMutallab of "politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear mongering." Such behavior "only serves the goals of al Qaeda," Brennan wrote. "Terrorists are not 100-feet tall," Brennan wrote, adding it was naive to think that putting AbdulMutallab in military custody as opposed to the civilian court system would have made any difference. "The suspect gets access to a lawyer, and interrogation rules are nearly identical," Brennan's commentary said. Bond responded that Brennan was no longer credible, calling him a "mouthpiece for the political arm" of the White House. Bond's response was first reported by the National Review Online, and CNN verified the accuracy of Bond's comments with his office. Asked for comment on Bond's criticism, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said in an e-mail to CNN: "Through his pathetic attack on a counter-terrorism professional like John Brennan who has spent his lifetime protecting this country under multiple administrations, Sen. Bond sinks to new depths in his efforts to put politics over our national security." ... =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= Home Of The Brave?!? http://cagle.com/working/100210/priggee.gif<http://cagle.com/working/100210/priggee.gif> =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= "A number of high-ranking officials in the military have come forward to say they feel gays should be allowed to serve in the armed forces.
