I am, of course, a little mystified by this reaction given the similarity of this case to the attempt by Richard Reid who was prosecuted in Federal court by the prior administration, now serving a life sentence.
Feingold compares Abdulmutallab's case to Reid's, defending the Federal court decision.

Action against the FDLR and the ADF has to happen I think relatively soon to make sure that the diplomatic commitments that we made are fulfilled.
These were not easy conversations, but they were direct and I think they were helpful in making it clear that the United States certainly does not overlook that sort of thing in this context.
We need more clarity from the Democratic Republic of Congo and not simply how much they intend to devote to this but also exactly the kinds of things you were describing.
