The top Republicans in the Senate are preparing a scathing letter to Attorney General Eric Holder concerning the handling of the Christmas Day bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. The letter, signed by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and top Republicans on committees with national security jurisdiction, accuses the Obama administration of a “preoccupation with reading the Christmas Day bomber his Miranda rights.”

According to a draft obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD, the letter raises pointed questions about the attempted attack and the botched response by the Obama administration and the intelligence community.
