Obama Plays Politics with Terror Victims’ Families

President Obama is playing fast and loose and acting less than honorably when dealing with the families of the victims of terrorist attacks. But don’t take my word for it. Read it from a much more informed source – Debra Burlingame, sister of American Airlines pilot Charles Burlingame, who died on September 11, 2001, in the attack on the Pentagon.

Burlingame wrote a must-read bit in the Wall Street Journal this week about how the president misled her and other families who have pleaded for justice against those who planned the 2000 attack on the U.S.S. Cole and other known terrorists now at Guantanamo Bay.

Burlingame openly and rightfully questions the president’s sincerity about pursuing justice against the perpetrators of these attacks. And she does it with good reason. This has to be read to be believed.
