During his confirmation hearing, Eric Holder said, “First, I will work to strengthen the activities of the federal government that protect the American people from terrorism. Nothing I will do is more important.” That was then. Now, he evidently found something more important – prosecuting CIA interrogators who extracted information that saved thousands of lives. Without question, prosecuting CIA interrogators will degrade our intelligence capability and make Americans more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Holder is acting recklessly and irresponsibly by weakening, not strengthening, the activities of the federal government that protect the American people from terrorism. He misled Congress when he said he would do otherwise. He ought to be held to account.
