The Blazs ^

[TigerClaws]

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.

The Department of Justice, however, told TheBlaze that Rahman is serving a life sentence and is not considered for possible release.  Previous calls to the State Department were referred to the Department of Justice and so far, the State Department has neither confirmed nor denied the report.

The last ‘humanatarian’ transfer of a convicted terrorist worked out not so well.

President Mohamed Morsi said he was going to get this guy back ,would be a super win for them ,DOJ says no ,bull

[beethovenfan]

If they deny it, you can bet money on it.

I doubt Obama would commit political suicide before the election. Afterwards, maybe.

[DoughtyOne]

There’s one way I’d agree to this.

1. Our blind Pres__ent Resident goes with him in the deal.
2. Our deaf, blind, and dumb Vice-President accompanies them.

Work this out, and I’m in...

[TigerClaws]

Guess Obama cut a deal. Post election of course.

Definitely something the Romney campaign should jump on if true. There's an old Rudyard Kipling poem "Danegeld" that applies:

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

[Sarah Barracuda]

I wonder if Obama will bow to him and high five him before he releases him

[LSUfan]

Not even Obama’s political advisers are stupid enough to allow this to happen before the election. If they win, I think Obama could very well do this.

Send him.....in pieces.

“Send him.....in pieces.”

Or inoculate him with a highly communicable, incurable disease.

Include Hillary, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi too.

[Popman]

I find this difficult to believe even for Obama...would not be the first time I have under estimated his hatred of America ...

I can see him doing only if he loses the election and is a lame duck...

[codder too]

Time to watch for release is after election if Obama wins. Or in days post election, pre inauguration if he looses.

[ptsal]

This will be ignored by the lefty media... /disgusting

[Happy Rain]

They should transfer the Blind Sheik to a cell full of broken glass and half starved rabid weasels.

Or inoculate him with a highly communicable, incurable disease.

Too late. He already has one. It's called Islam.
