New Attorney General faces UFO diplomacy dilemma

Eric Holder is very likely to be confirmed on Monday as Attorney General by the full U.S. Senate after yesterday gaining approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 17-2 vote. He will be the first African American to head the Department of Justice in U.S. history. Holder will be the top legal official responsible for dealing with a variety of complex legal issues that confront the Obama administration. He will have to hit the ground running when he starts his new job due to a highly unusual request from the Mayor of London. On January 26, Mayor Boris Johnson publicly requested President Obama drop all charges by the Department of Justice against a British computer hacker seeking UFO files.
