Thanks to Paul Ryan’s efforts, the name al-Baghdadi now rings from every TV…
By all means, let’s keep the GOP happy…
Well done, DOJ. You managed to give the gun fondlers in the TGOP something to make a case over, and you managed to look like you were censoring information that did not need to be classified and hidden, thereby making it seem like you were trying to manipulate the issue.
You could not have handled it in a worse way.
What is up with this latest reversal by the DOJ? It gives both the terrorists and GOP what they wanted.
No more credibility than a two year old gets, when a parent gives into their hysterics in the middle of a toy store.
So what? No one cares.
I’d like to hear the full account. This is not a game. There are no wins or losses here.
I know whenever important decisions are to be made the first rule of order is
“I intend to get this right, but I’ll go ahead and step on my dick first anyway.”
Stupid issue
…as usual.
Hell it’s Obama, they would have bitched that he released too much info if he’d released the full transcript from the get go.
Well played.
I have to agree it was one of those pusillanimous moves that doesn’t really help anyone. The only thing I can think of to complicate things is that there’s reporting from NPR that the FBI analysts don’t see Mateen showing any signs of radicalization other than the 911 call verbiage. They say he’s more a typical mass killer profile, not a jihadi. So maybe if he was conflicted over sexuality or just an explosively angry person, he used the ISIS talk to justify it to himself, and the transcript would further cement a possibly false impression in the public mind. But that doesn’t mean you should opt for silly, patronizing half-measures like this.
It’s important to note that that the only two groups happy with the inclusion of the ISIS propaganda are ISIS and the GOP… They truly need each other, don’t they?
Except for the side that plays it just like that.
Too soon to discuss guns Dontcha know.
Now let Pray ,worked so well in the past
Hopefully they’ll make up for it with a strong Clinton indictment. Coming soon.
The real story is that Lynch, a certified moron, was stepped on by the White House.

[/quote]You nailed it. Just another religiously trained, self-hating, confused guy full of anger. The ISIS talk is a way to make himself seem important. The crux of the issue is that we make it so damned easy for a person with these issues to get a killing machine in his hands without scrutiny.
The headline says “releases full transcripts.” There is still over 20 minutes of phone conversation between Mateen and 911 that are not included in the transcripts. The headline is so inaccurate that it makes a direct, false statement of fact.
They both want the same thing, Americans to be afraid.
