Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the captured suspect considered to be a “key figure” in the Benghazi, Libya, attack, will not be sent to Guantanamo, White House officials insisted today.
“Abu Khatallah is currently in U.S. custody in a secure location outside the United States, and en route to the United States to face the charges against him,” National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden said in a statement today.
“Some have suggested that he should go to [Guantanamo Bay]. Let me rule that out from the start. The Administration’s policy is clear on this issue: we have not added a single person to the GTMO population since President Obama took office, and we have had substantial success delivering swift justice to terrorists through our federal court system,” Hayden added.

Why did this move now? 2 reasons:
1. Trey Gowdy plans to publicly question witnesses as to WHY Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Obama and Hillary do NOT want that rock turned over publicly.
2. The revelation last week that the US had intercepted telephone calls of the terrorists using cell phones.
a. They do NOT want to reveal how we captured voice calls in real-time in Libya.
b. More importantly, we now know that the White House knew before the attack ended that it was a planned terrorists attack. Susan Rice’s testimony is now DEMONSTRABLY a planned lie. Which leads you back to point #1.
Why was Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi? What was the CIA doing?
I’d say the odds are better than 50/50 that the Obama Administration helped arm ISIS. We are living in a bizarre world. Had the media even gave a 1/4 second of thought that George Bush had done what Obama has done, the media would have been leading the demonstrations at the gates of the White House for Bush’s immediate arrest and impeachment.
Gowdy must be closing in...

Hussein Obama and Eric Holder will make sure he has all the recommended lawyers that Holder can find...do you trust this current Administration? I sure as Hell don’t
Hussein O. is a professional LIAR...He should have been already held under impeachment. He is destroying our Nation, one day at a time..
Send him to Point Barrow, Alaska.
Never understood liberals’ problems with gitmo. Might just be a case of Not Invented Here. If liberals had proposed it they would love it. But they have to oppose it because it is associated with Bush.
Maybe this guy will be the terrorist-to-be-named-later that will finalize the Bergdahl trade.
Hussein 0bama is probably having The Lincoln Bedroom made up for his muzzie bro.
KSM II—he’ll go to Manhattan for the show trial.
I think you’ve pretty much nailed it, Bryan.
If he’s guilty, he should be tried, convicted, and executed sooner rather than later.
Yes, he should.
But no, he won’t.
