Brennan Behind ‘Terrorism as Crime’ Policy - HUMAN EVENTS: "John O. Brennan, the closest advisor to President Obama on how to fight al Qaeda, has emerged as a key promoter of dumping much of George Bush's tough war policies and embracing the White House's legalistic approach to terrorism.
The nation got its first extended long look at Brennan on Sunday when he appeared on TV talk shows to defend the administration's response to al Qaeda's Christmas Day would-be airline bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
It was during his appearance on Fox News that he made several astounding policy statements.
"Brennan has said a number of disappointing things on Sunday," said Rep. Peter Hoekstra, senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. "If you take a look at the policies he is advocating, they clearly are policies that run totally counter to what the former president had in place."
But in truth, Brennan has been an internal Bush critic going back to his days in the CIA, which culminated in him serving as chief of staff to director George Tenet, then setting up the first National Counter-Terrorism Center."
