Flight 253 hero Schuringa to be prosecuted
"In announcing the pending charges against Schuringa
the Justice Department spokesman said that after being treated for his burns, Abdulmutallab told a federal agent that Schuringa had slugged him in the mouth. Abdulmutallab pointed to his swollen lip as evidence of the assault.
"It's now well established in anti-terrorism operations that you cannot just go around slugging murderous terrorists in the mouth," said the spokesman. "What's fair for Navy SEALs will be fair for Mr. Schuringa. The law is the law." He added that Attorney General Eric Holder had approved charging Mr. Schuringa with assault." -- Thus saith Sensing @ Sense of Events

Your Say
You should mention that that post was labeled at the end,"This post is satire."

Yes, because it is entirely within reason to expect Eric Holder to charge Mr. Schuringa with assault. Holder is the same AG who let the New Black Panthers off the hook for intimidating voters in Philadelphia in Nov 2008, and has now punished the attorney from his office who filed the charges in the first place. Strange times.
