Predictably, the Crotch Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, under his lawyer’s advice, says he is not guilty of the six counts charged for his failed terror plot.
More than 20 Republican senators are circulating a letter to President Obama objecting to his trial in criminal court:
More than 20 Republican senators wrote a letter to President Barack Obama on Friday objecting to the administration’s decision to try terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in civilian courts.
The GOP senators want the 23-year-old Nigerian accused of trying to bomb a Northwest Airlines jet tried in military courts and declared an enemy combatant. By bringing Abdulmutallab before a judge and allowing him to face charges, critics say, the administration is missing an opportunity to interrogate him more thoroughly.
Why haven’t all 40 GOP senators’ names appear on the letter? And the 60 Democrats’ too?
