It can't happen here

I learned today that John Walker Lindh's attorney had been appointed to the Post of U.S. Assistant Attorney General.
For those who do not remember, Lindh was the young American who joined the Taliban against the U.S. He is now serving twenty years.
It took me an hour to verify this information including the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder's law firm "Covington and Burling" has made a lot of money defending terrorists. Holder's old partner, David Remes is defending one or more of those who plotted and carried out the bombing the USS Cole. Seventeen sailors were killed, thirty nine injured.
Wonder why the White House wants to bring Gitmo detainees to the US and give them lawyers?

It is not illegal for these men to be appointed to high office in the U.S. Government, but there are a lot of people wondering why dozens of like minded people are put in sensitive positions.

Uproar from US citizenry forced the President to dismiss self proclaimed communist Van Jones from his staff. It didn't matter. He was reconstituted and placed in another key position.
