Burlingame After Meeting With Obama: He Turned His Back On Me


Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles "Chic" Burlingame (pilot of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon) met with President Obama today, along with other families who were victims of 9/11. Burlingame said she confronted Obama about Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuting the men who interrogated KSM, which may have produced intelligence leading us to bin Laden.

Burlingame describes the encounter with Obama: "As a former attorney I know you can't tell the Attorney General what to do, he said, 'No, I can't.' But I said 'we -- that shouldn't stop you from giving your opinion. We wouldn't be here today if they hadn't done their jobs. Can't you at least give them your opinion.' And he said 'no I won't,' and he turned around and walked away."

7. So she's using her status as a 9/11 relative to demand that the USA embrace torture

Sorry Debra. You can demand things like justice and accountability (as the other 9/11 widows have done), but your loss doesn't entitle you to demand that the United States abandon what little moral authority it has left. It's a good thing Obama turned his back on you; you're despicable.
