So I'm not a shyster. Big deal. I can still argue the law, no?
The Christmas '09 attack did not happen in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and its occurrence blows gigantic holes in Obama's delusional claims that we can be safer by turning away from a law-of-war paradigm and "changing the tone" with the Muslim world. Don't worry. Harvard.
What is the sensible explanation for sending the Cole case — a decade-old incident with a pending civilian indictment — to the military commission system, but handing over to the criminal justice system Abdulmutallab — an alien enemy combatant sent by al-Qaeda to commit a 9/11-style war-crime and who, according to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, had fresh, "actionable intelligence" to give us but who cut off interrogation when we let him lawyer up?
Explanation, shmelplanation. Pepean Logic does not need to be dissected, and checked for consistency, or coherence. It is what it is. In a realm beyond mere, puny Cartesian logic. Hah!
