Eric Holder actually said...

"prosecuting these enemies in Federal criminal courts is in many instances our strongest tool to gain not only intelligence but also convictions."

"the United States is at war with a vicious enemy who targets our soldiers on the battlefield in Afghanistan and our civilians on the streets here at home."

"I'm glad that Attorney General Eric Holder is thinking about criminal charges. If it was up to me, they'd be going to the hoosegow, headed to the slammer."

"If we find evidence of illegal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response."
