We should have traded this idiot a bullet to the base of his skull, in exchange for any information he was (or was not) able to divulge! Of course, this is just my personal opinion!

OK, a different article says he “has been resettled outside the United States.” I wonder what that means. I wonder why the Washington Post doesn’t say where he is. I wonder why Reuters doesn’t say where he is.

Maybe they can sue the Port Authority for placing the buildings in the way of their hijacked planes? Did anyone ever sue the box knife manufacturer for not having a warning label on the knifes that they were not to be used to hijack planes?

Even better maybe the familes of the hijackers of Flight 93 will sue the Families of the American Heroes of that flight for causes the plane to crash!
