Egypt's new government is sparking growing outrage in the U.S. for its attempts to win the release of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind cleric behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. In Cairo, President-elect Mohamed Morsi proclaimed to hundreds of thousands of supporters in Tahir Square on Friday that he will gain the release of Rahman, who is in a federal prison in North Carolina after having been convicted of masterminding the bombing that killed six and unsuccessfully plotting to blow up other landmarks, including the United Nations. Although a U.S. official told FoxNews.com the sheik will never be freed, the fact that Egypt's newly-installed Muslim Brotherhood government is asking has top elected officials here seething. Its disgusting for a head of government to state in his inaugural speech that a man who attempted to commit mass murder should be freed, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told FoxNews.com. The fact that he said this in his first speech says to me that this is from the heart, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been trying to convince us that they have changed. We need to be more on guard than ever, King added. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., weighed in, calling Morsi's speech "an insult." President Morsis offensive statements are an insult to the memories of the victims of the World Trade Center bombing. ... Rest assured, (Rahman) will stay right where he belongs in jail for the rest of his life, Schumer said.

“...and unsuccessfully plotting to blow up other landmarks, including the United Nations.”
Hmmm ...
What are the odds he is released?
Clinton? Holder? Terrorists? Yeah, they’ll be released just like the 15 FALN members were towards the end of BJ’s 2nd term.
Barry will release him just to show what swell people Americans are.
I would release him...... A little piece at a time...
....individually wrapped in bacon...
"Where's the blind sheikh?"
"I released him."
Release him? The pig fornicating bastard should have been hung in 1994.
Release him! From 15,000 ft. over Cairo - no parachute.
If Morsi keeps making these stupid demands, I’d make a point of taking the blind goatviolator out and shooting him. Then fly a plane over Morsi’s residence and dump the body on the grounds. “Here’s your sheik” we could then announce to Morsi. Just before we drop a bomb on him.
Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman should have been executed. At this point the only thing to release is his rotting carcass.
I think it’s time for the blind sheik to be executed for his part in killing Americans. And it needs to be public.
Agreed. And all prisoners from GITMO will be released I say we launch them EAST from GITMO...toward Mecca.
