Holder's doing

I can usually overlook the absurd, biased rantings in the letters to the editor and dismiss them as being the product of the politically uninformed who rely on the far-left elite media for their "facts."

However, Jay Lynch's offering, "Botched by Bush" (Nov. 19), is too inane to ignore. The proposed civilian trial for 9/11 terrorists (yet another "blame Bush" accusation) never would have happened and never should have happened under President Bush's watch.

This is yet the latest blunder by the current inept administration, spearheaded by the agenda-driven Attorney General Eric Holder. Yes, if this civilian trial (instead of the appropriate military tribunal) does take place, it will be a circus and a great security risk -- not to mention providing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a platform to spew his jihadist rhetoric.

Thank Mr. Holder -- not Mr. Bush -- when it happens, for it is Mr. Holder's brainchild. Of course, our national security has apparently, and sadly, gone by the proverbial wayside.
