Obama Administration transforms Palestinian-American terrorist into victim - by Stephen M. Flatow

...When Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, he promised to bring about "fundamental transformations." I don't think any of us imagined he would try to transform a terrorist into a victim. But by refusing to take any steps to prosecute Palestinian killers of Americans, and instead going to bat for a Palestinian-American terrorist who tried to kill Israelis, Obama is doing just that.
