The Whole Delivery

One of America's best journalists who still doesn't get the recognition that he deserves basically held back no punches in highlighting how the Obama Administration has somehow left the Department of Justice in a state of politicization. In an article written today at the Huffington Post, the industrious Dan Froomkin reminded us of the departure of the man tipped to make the closing of Guantanamo Bay be a smooth process. And further reminded us about how his replacement is not the steadfast voice required to steer the Administration to the right direction it advocated for during the campaign. Greg Craig, as Obama's top lawyer, was the point man on a number of hot-button issues, the fieriest being how to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.

But it showed how much of a fraud on the national stage that Rendell is. He is the same individual that said if Joe Sestak decided to run against Arlen Specter for Senator that he would get killed and marginalized , displaying himself as a "status quo" Democrat. And today, as the KSM in NYC event looks to not be happening, Rendell's off message ways continue by saying that Gitmo with a military tribunal would be the ideal setting ! "Let him plead guilty before a military tribunal in Gitmo," Rendell said on Fred Thompson's radio show today, citing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's worries about security around the trial. "I just don’t think you're going to find a juridiction that’s going to feel any differently than Mayor Bloomberg and the City...
