Why is it that Obama and this Administration do not want the CIA Interrogators to get their hands on terrorists in this Country like Abdulmutallab who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day? This question caused us to look further into what is happening in Nigeria and places like Kenya in Africa where his cousin, Odinga, became Prime Minster based on threats and rioting after the election. In the search, ties between Obama relataives and alleged terrorists kept popping up. If this is true, how far does the Obama extended family go into the world of terrorism in Africa and/or into the Middle East? We don't have the answers but someone must.
The American people have a right to know what is going on with this President and his people in the White House refusing to acknowledge terrorism and wanting them tried in federal court. Trying in federal court makes no sense since a lot of the evidence that has been gathered would be thrown out. Is that what Obama and Holder want? Won't any regular news organization dig into the connections between Obama's African family and terrorists or will they continue to spin and cover-up for Obama?
We cannot even get most media interested in the organization that launched his career into community organization which was a spin-off of Alinksy. We will leave that for another day when i's have been dotted and t's have been crossed.
Bottom line is how do we know when Obama and his team are lying on Abdulmutallab -- the answer is we don't and far be it from us to expect the mainstream to investigate when they can print White House spin. Takes media like the Washington Examiner and others to get at the truth and even then they get stonewalled at times by Obama and the White House.
Administration changes story on Christmas Day bomber

A number of news organizations are reporting that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the al Qaeda soldier accused of trying to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet, is now cooperating with authorities and has provided useful intelligence to terrorist investigators.
The Washington Post, citing "Obama administration sources," reports Abdulmutallab "has been providing FBI interrogators with useful intelligence about his training and contacts since last week." The Politico quotes a "law enforcement source" saying Abdulmutallab has provided "useful, current intelligence." And ABC News, citing a "senior administration official," reports that the intelligence "has been disseminated throughout the intelligence community."
The reports represent a striking turnaround in the administration's position. Ever since the public learned that authorities had just 50 minutes to question Abdulmutallab before he was read his Miranda rights and refused to answer any further questions, the Obama administration has claimed that it had, during that brief interrogation, gotten all the information that was possible to be gained from Abdulmutallab. On Fox News Sunday January 24, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that "FBI interrogators believe they got valuable intelligence and were able to get all that they could out of him." When host Chris Wallace asked, "All they could?" Gibbs answered, "Yeah."
On January 31, top White House adviser David Axelrod told Meet the Press that Abdulmutallab "has given very valuable information to the government about activities in Yemen and some of his experiences there." To emphasize the point, Axelrod said, "We have not lost anything as a result of how his case has been handled."
So just a few days ago the Obama administration claimed that Abdulmutallab had given up everything he knows. Now, they claim he is giving them fresh, useful intelligence.
The administration's new position seems to be a direct response to bipartisan criticism of the handling of Abdulmutallab. Many lawmakers on Capitol Hill were appalled to learn that he had been questioned for just 50 minutes before being advised of his right to remain silent. The criticism started among Republicans but spread to some Democrats and threatened to spread further unless the administration addressed the issue in some way. So now comes the news that Abdulmutallab is talking again.
