Attorney General Holder Soft on Terror
WASHINGTON -- The senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee says Attorney General Eric Holder is too soft on terrorism.
At an oversight hearing Wednesday on the Justice Department, Sen. Jeff Sessions criticized Holder for the release of Bush administration memos that authorized harsh interrogation techniques. The Alabama senator said the memos gave important information to America's enemies.
Holder told the Senate committee that protecting Americans from terrorists is his top priority.
