Are we willing to have cameras every where like in the UK. When more people die from bad food and lightning, why are we wetting our diapers when terror is a bigger problem in the EU.

Three days/six days. That anyone, from either side of the aisle, would attempt to use terrorism in a domestic political blame game is despicable.

Our government, under both Bush and Obama, has done its best to keep us safe since 9/11 and with considerable success to date, but we (our government) is not, and cannot be, omniscient no matter which party is in power. Let's stop the recriminations and focus, without partisanship, on the problem.

People probably aren't going to be swayed either way. It is nice to see Barr, freed from his party's shackles, be able to speak his mind both ways when he:

Stated that he didn't agree with everything that the president has done, without belaboring the point.
Criticized the critics who are selectively remembering some very recent history.

If you've ever seen a partisan debate with a Libertarian, or another third party, in the middle, you'll know exactly why the other parties work so hard to keep them out. It adds a layer of honesty, and entertainment, to the whole process.

It's been more than a year since the election. Blaming Bush wrongly for anything is proof of Hopelessness.

I think the overwhelming majority of American people are concerned about how poorly this was handled by the Obama Administration. Barr continues to marginalize himself with this kind of happy talk nonsense. He even repeated a re-phrased “the system worked” which even Obama doesn't believe. Liz Cheney continues to demonstrate that she is one of the brightest stars in the national security field by not falling for an attempt by Clinton advisor Stefanopoulus attempt to redirect the issue to a retired President.

Barr is correct. The Reps are stealing a page from the gang that couldn't shoot straight script (slightly worn out from Dem usage).
