Source: Obama Administration in Talks to Transfer ‘Blind Sheikh’ to Egypt
The Blaze ^ | Sept. 17, 2012 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 09/17/2012 2:43:54 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

The U.S. State Department is currently in negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze.

Glenn Beck revealed the controversial news on his show Monday.

The negotiations are allegedly part of the ongoing discussions with the Egyptian government to resolve the crisis plaguing the Middle East, the source told TheBlaze. Calls to the State Department for comment referred us to the Department of Justice, and nothing has been confirmed.

The Blind Sheikh is serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. His release has been called one of the top priorities of the new Islamist administration in Egypt. Many have pinpointed the cause of last week‘s unrest in Egypt to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release– not an anti-Islam YouTube video.

If it was me in chair...
Blindboy Jihad would be strung up by his ankles, and fed to Texan fire ants.
And the video would be on YouTube.

SO THIS SUPPOSED OUTRAGE AT A FILM IS REALLY JUST A NEGOTIATING PLOY??? Obama: “Look, we released him and the riots stopped. They love us again.” Bloody wanker.

People have almost forgotten about the first attack. Heck, they’ve almost forgotten about 9/11.

“for humanitarian and health reasons...”

Bravo Sierra.

They are placating and appeasing these Muslim Brotherhood terrorists and would be releasing a convicted terrorist murderr who tried to murder tens of thosuands.

This is sickening and digusting and I hope it is proclaimed from the rooftops so every American can see how soft on radical Islamics this administration is.

Actually, it surprised me. Obama is a disgustingly evil anti-American thug, but I thought he was smart enough to at least wait until after the election before taking the many actions of this nature that I have always assumed he would take as soon as he had the freedom to be more flexible in his actions.

Department of Justice is now denying that the blind sheik is being considered for release.

2.) The up coming elections are going to be suspended due to a false flag

If elections are suspended then it's AR II, and there won't be enough brownshirts in the world to stop it.

If this is true, he just lost the election.

HUH? The clown in the WH could murder Moochele on Teevee and the loyal worshipers of this messiah will still give him their vote. He has just as loyal following as Bubba had, and the clown gets the white "slave guilt" vote to boot.

IMHO it makes no difference what he does - it is the GOP that has to win this thing and they sure are NOT going to do it by saying what a nice fellow the clown is that is currently destroying our country.

You'd be correct if he was ever held accountable for anything, like a real candidate would. Of course there's a first time for everything.

Obama is going to send Extremely Bad Santa where he wants and doesn't care what Americans think.

If this is true, he just lost the election. The blind sheik is responsible for the first WTC terror attack. If he does this he won’t even win NY.

wanna take a bet? I doubt that he will be released (before the election) but I am almost certain that even if he was released, Obama would still very easily win NY.

Liberals hate Conservatives much more than they do the blind sheik or Osama.

I have no doubt the evil left will push this Republic into CW2 or Rev2.0 It's only a matter of time. The left is pure evil.

Where does a president get constitutional authority to do such a thing, short of pardoning the terrorist?

Since when can he does he get to over-rule lawfully imposed sentences without exercising the pardon power?
