It is political half-truths from the same man that just said that he
would not (and did not) prosecute the big banks if he thought it might
cause damage to the economy.

As one blogger commented:
Quote:
Specifically, Holder did not say “we are legally constrained by the
Constitution from depriving people of life, liberty or property
without due process of law, and from using military force on U.S.
soil”.  Instead, he said that the Obama administration was so far
abstaining from using a power it already has as a current “policy”
decision.
