The US Department of Justice is continuing to ‘examine the potential’ for prosecuting terrorists who harmed Americans and were freed in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, The Jerusalem Post learned on Sunday.

In an email sent on Friday to US citizens who had been harmed by terrorists released last October in the Schalit exchange with Hamas, HeatherCartwright, director of the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism, said the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, the prosecutorial office responsible for these cases, plans to meet with US victims of terrorist acts involving Schalit deal prisoners.

In her letter, which the Post has seen, Cartwright said the Department of Justice is “taking the matter of prosecuting terrorists very seriously.”

However, she added that there are “significant impediments to pursuing criminal charges in the United States court system for these particular foreign-based attacks.”

Yeah....ya think? What a farce this Justice Dept is......

Good idea, why examine it, just do it. Start with Abdelbaset al-Megrahi of Lockerbee fame. I know, Barry can apoint a commission, that will make it appear he's doing something till after the election.
