Hoekstra on "Face the Nation," 1/10/2010:
SCHIEFFER: I want to go right to Congressman Hoekstra on this.
A lot of people are already saying that this fellow, this Detroit fellow who was arrested, on the Detroit flight, should not have been charged in a civilian court and given a lawyer; he should have been designated a military combatant and left in the hands of the military so they could interrogate him.
HOEKSTRA: I -- I would agree with that statement. I mean, I think what the president now needs to do is -- the president, I think, came out last week, finally said we are at war with Al Qaida, recognized that, and I think has a better understanding of the threat and an appreciation for the threat that we face.
Hoekstra, Monday via Twitter:
Reality, today:
Washington --The suspected terrorist federal authorities say tried to blow up an airliner over Detroit is talking again to intelligence officials, according to the director of national intelligence.
"We got good intelligence. We're getting more," Dennis Blair said before a hearing of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which was holding a hearing today on terrorism threats facing the United States.
How's Pete going to explain this? Getting information from someone..... without torture!? |
