Was Janet Napolitano Right?

What I am referring to is, the statement following the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. Janet Napolitano (Our Homeland Security Secretary) said that everything "worked like clockwork" in dealing with the attack. In most people's eyes this is a terrible flaw. Of course, not everything worked right. A terrorist got onto an airplane, with a bomb. The terrorist attempted to blow up the plane only stopped by a passenger, and the terrorists own ignorance on bomb making.

Janet Napolitano is a lawyer, a good one I guess. She was a US Attorney in Clinton's administration and Attorney General of Arizona. When she said it all worked like clockwork she was thinking like a lawyer, let me explain.

If you go to board a plane and are searched, and the TSA finds you "suspicious looking", what can they do? The can't arrest you for being "suspicious looking". You have committed no crime. They cannot be arrested you until you commit a crime. From that view point, the viewpoint of lawyer Janet Napolitano, it sounds like everything worked like clock work. The criminal wasn't arrested until he committed a crime.

That is the difference of acing like a policeman and acting like a soldier. A soldier, in a time of war, can arrest you without you committing a crime. He can interrogate you . He can find out if you have plans on attacking US citizens. We have to remember that we are in a time of war. There are BAD people out there wanting to kill us. We need to act like soldiers, not policemen.

We need to do a little profiling. I don't care what is politically correct. I think that if you are wasting your time searching the 80 year old woman in a wheel chair or a 5 year old boy. Terrorists do not have rights. They are not protected by our Constitution. They are the enemy. They are here to do a job, kill us. We need to look for the 25 year old Muslim guy, with one way tickets. If our enemy was white, German-Irish guys, about 40 years old. I would hope that every time I went through the airport I would be searched and questioned, for MY OWN PROTECTION. I know it is inconvenient, who cares. You are alive.

Prosecute our war enemies in a war tribunal, not 1,000 yards from the scene of the attack in New York City. Don't put them in a prison in the center of our country, put them in a P.O.W camp. Let's torture the enemy. Get the information needed to protect our citizens. We as citizens are treating this whole war like a game. It is a War!

Janet Napolitano's department did do something last April in an effort to stop Terrorism. They put out this report.... "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with Radical Islamic Extremists, who are our current enemy. It has to do with those crazy radicals called veterans and those other "rebels" called the Tea Party. Why doesn't Napolitano just turn in her resignation and go back to Arizona. That would keep this country a lot safer.
