Sufyan Ben Qumu was classified as a 'medium to high' national security risk before his release from American custody Qumu reportedly was Osama bin Laden's driver and worked for the al-Qaeda founder's company in Sudan Libyans promised to keep him behind bars, but he was released in 2010 Qumu was a former Libyan army tank driver and became a leader of the rebels during the uprising

A former al-Qaeda terrorist released from Guantanamo Bay is believed to be the leader of the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the US Ambassador, it was revealed on Wednesday.

Sufyan Ben Qumu, who was reportedly once Osama bin Laden's driver, was let out of the US military detention center in Cuba in 2007 and turned over to the government of Muammar Gaddafi on the condition he be kept behind bars.

Not exactly. Read the entire thread, please.

Just like Bernanke and the former Treasurer, Paulson weren’t dumb. They all know exactly what they are doing, and even though they keep claiming ‘it’s in the best interest of America and Americans,’ their promises ALWAYS cause more harm, more theft, of American taxpayer dollars and lives.

You can’t consistently fail at every promise unless that was actually the goal. And if it’s the goal (which it is), then they are all orchestration to undermine America.

Why and for whom, are the questions.

[holden]

The questions should be,
“When was he released from the Libyan prison?
“Was his release in accordance with the Agreement with the US Government as a condition of his GITMO release?
And “What event(s) precipitated his release?”

Boy, the next thing you know someone will try and tell us that the State Department is working on the release of the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman! /s

Boosh’s fault!

Too bad this young man was caught up in the excitement of the spontaneous demonstration against the youtube “film”. I had heard that he was turning his life around before he fell in with the crowd of hooligans that got out of hand.

[lentulusgracchus]

Having a difficult time buying it was due to Qadaffi’s anniversary of holding power.

Concur, the story sounds incomplete. Khaddafi had at least as much to worry about from Al Q'aeda in Libya; if they weren't in The Suck or the Sandbox, they'd be raising hell at home, very uncool, and dangerous to the ruling class's luxurious, Europeanizing lifestyle.

Mouth-breathers like Gumu are dangerous to everyone; I can't see old Muammar just turning him loose for a jolly, festive ferial day.

[lentulusgracchus]

I had heard that he was turning his life around before he fell in with the crowd of hooligans that got out of hand.

Yeah, and then someone handed him a loaded RPG-7 and all his internal jihad just melted away, and he went with it. Shame.

Breaking News on FoxNews 8:01 CDT:

Administration rep admits to Senate committee the attack was terrorism.

Admin is still tongue-tied trying to find a narrative that works.

This is how we know that Hillary Clinton still has WH aspirations - she would have resigned by now if she was going to retire from politics.

Thank You for the response. New information is coming out. May not be any links yet though. There was a brief this am on the tele by a Former FBI official. The media may not be writing about it. The media may consider it too explosive. The jest was the official said gumu was released in March of 2010, and it was not Qadaffi making the release instead it was the rebels. This one is coming down around those who have spun it like a ton of manure. Serves them right for all the lies Americans have been told, and all the uninformative and misdirections stories (actual lies and they knew they were lying), and outright ridicule the media has dumped on the citizens.

[MomwithHope]

That pesky internet and bloggers. If only the mainstream media had been the only news source they could have contained this and continued to spin this as a demonstration about a movie. Have to get that internet shut down before the election or we’re toast. Let’s spin the shutdown as a terrorist attack on the internet. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

[stbdside]

Wow, so the Jihadist who led the Benghazi attack was released from Gitmo in 2007. I sure hope we successfully looked after his human rights!/s

[MissMagnolia]

Obummer and gang would love to "blame Bush", but not so fast:

Very much worth noting, though: Counterterror expert Aaron Zelin seems to think this is a case of mistaken identity. Qumu’s group is Ansar al-Sharia, based in Dernah. The group suspected in the consulate attack is Katibah Ansar al-Sharia, based in Benghazi. Someone may have heard “Ansar al-Sharia” and made the assumption that it was Qumu’s group, not the Benghazi one, that led the assault. Just something to note as reporters begin to chase this angle.

Obama official: Yes, Benghazi was a terrorist attack and there are “indications” Al Qaeda was involved; Update: Ringleader released from Gitmo in 2007?

If I was a betting man I would wager that this was a driveby hit on ambassador Stevens because he “knew too much” about why Hillary and Obama set up the Muslim brotherhood to take out Ghadaffi. The EU and the Fed profited immensely to the tune of trillions of ghadaffis money held by the EU banks and owed to ghadaffi

[MissMagnolia]

There is a lot more going on here than meets the eye, I do believe. Bottom line, it doesn't matter if they had "actionable intelligence" or not or if it was pre-planned or not. It was the anniversary of Sept. 11 and that, in an of itself, in a terrorist hotbed like Benghazi, should have been enough. For his part, Stevens was careless at best, stupid at worst to be there - he trusted the wrong people all the way around. Hillary, as SOS and responsible for security, was derelict in her duty to protect the consulate in Benghazi AND the embassy in Tripoli. A terrorist flag flying over the embassy in Egypt is an act of war against America and Hillary can take direct credit for the security failures there as well. As for Omuslim, his 'celebration tour' to Las Vegas, Letterman and the glitzy party with Beyonce/JayZ before Ambassador Stevens is laid to rest says it all. So does this:
