Eric Holder might be taking one for the team, but we all know who he works for, and as Charles Krauthamer pointed out, the buck stops with President Obama.
O’REILLY: All right, let’s do the timeline. In August, President Obama says, “Look, we’re going to have this high-value interrogation team, like a SWAT Team for questioning, and they’re going to be available if anybody is captured.” All right, that’s August.
Christmas bombing deal happens. They’re not around. Now it’s February 2. They’re looking for office space.
So who’s the villain? Who’s supposed to be in charge of that? Who would this team answer to?
KRAUTHAMMER: Well, ultimately, the buck stops with the president. He can’t look after every detail, but if he makes a big deal about abolishing the old interrogation techniques, as he did in every speech from Cairo all the way to Oslo, he ought to at least inquire as to whether there’s been a substitute, according to the principles he would enunciate.
Eric Holder serves at the pleasure of the president. Obviously, he was acting under the guidelines set by his boss.
