The attack in Libya seems to have been a break down within the current interim government there that allowed the assault on the consulate and two supposedly secret safe houses. There is obviously a mole feeding information to the fundamentalist elements in Libya, and we will have to restrict information sharing until the mole is uncovered. That attack and the demonstrations are connected only by coincidence of time.

I don’t know if the Department of Justice will act, but as a former member of law enforcement, I would be more than comfortable executing an arrest warrant, something that wouldn’t be true if they use the new ‘terrorism’ laws, which look unConstitutional on their face. We have had laws on the books for decades to deal with terrorism, we just need people willing to do the work involved in actually enforcing them. Cops and prosecutors know how to do it without cutting corners or infringing on anyone’s civil rights. It would be nice if they were allowed to do their jobs the way they were taught.
