Looks like Germany traded this guy for the Hostage that was held in Iraq

I see the Germans are have become infected with the French disease. Cheney is right. Old Europe is dead.

We'll see how long his lifespan is. Probably pop up somewhere in the line of fire.

This guy should be hunted down and terminated by an unknown force. No apprehension, detention, trial, none of that crap.

Just a body. And pictures released anonymously to the press...

[Gay State Conservative]

left his prison in North-Rhine Westphalia after a parole board and psychologists decided he was eligible for early release.

I wonder what the German psychologists use as a standard for determining fitness for release.Is it anything like "gee,it's clear that he has the appropriate level of hatred for Bush,Cheney and Haiiburton,so I vote 'yes'"

[Joe Boucher]

Germany what a joke, they should be embarased

[right right]

Maybe they will find him stuffed in a pig carcass somewhere. Where are all our right wing nuts when you need them???????

[rightwinggoth]

19 years? The average time served for murder in Germany is twelve. This guy got the book thrown at him.

[antiRepublicrat]

Nineteen years is an exceedingly long prison time in Germany, pushing up against the maximum that anyone could expect to get. RAF member, terrorist, bomber and murder Irmgard Möller was released after about 18 years.

[Jeff Head]

Time to assign a Phoenix team to this guy.

...and sentenced to life in prison, which in Germany holds a term of 25 years.

WTF??! Well, which is it: life behind bars or 25 years??

[george wythe]

The federal German defense is:

1. This is a state decision by a parole board or whatever.

2. The average "life sentence" in Germany is 15 years, so this guy's release was overdue

Nevertheless, this case does not pass the smell test. Why did the German government keep the release quiet? The Germans say that the US government was informed ahead of time.

Why did the Bush administration keep this information quiet until it broke in the media? Was the Bush administration in cahoots with the Merkel administration to keep this terrorist's release quiet until the German hostage had been released in Iraq? Are the current protestations just for local consumption? Who is lying to whom?

Maybe (wishful thinking) they embedded a gps tracker in his skull so we can track what rat hole he scurries off to.

[B.O. Plenty]

Note to Bush Admin:

Hunt Mohammad Ali Hammadi down and kill him.

[starfish923]

German-U.S. intelligence cooperation has been further clouded by reports claiming the CIA used Germany as its main European hub for transporting terror suspects in and out of the continent.

One AGAINST Germany, one FOR.
Let the German bashing begin. Let's see how many posts it takes to mention the....well, never mind.
So far, interesting posts.

Germany will pay for this. It always does.....double and triple what other sinning countries pay.

We would never do anything like that in out Country. Here, we simply release convicted terrorists to gain political favor with certain leftist and/or ethinic voting blocks.

[Prime Choice]

In my view, it is clear that Germany has a not-so-secret fondness for Islamofascist terrorists der Führer's third reich helped create.

[tom h]

I think a couple of CIA agents could "carry out" the rest of his sentence when the d-ckhead is resting happily in some hole in the Middle East.

[crazycat]

has completed an apprenticeship in prison ....and is now a master bomb maker
