When John Brennan, President Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, appeared on the Sunday news shows a few weeks ago to defend the idiotic decisions to try KSM in New York City and to Mirandize the Christmas bomber, the hairs on the back of all our necks stood up as we realized the incompetence and cluelessness of this protector of America's security....
