Original title: Revealed: Ringleader behind 'al-Qaeda attack that killed U.S. ambassador was former Guantanamo inmate handed over to Libya by America'
--------------------
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.

Now, Fox Newsreports he may have led the September 11 attack on the American consulate that resulted in the death of John Christopher Stevens -- the first US Ambassador killed by violence overseas since 1979.

The US military characterized him as a 'medium to high' risk to national security while he was in US custody and he refused to cooperate with authorities and explain his past associations with Islamic extremists.

Qumu, 53, is a Libyan army veteran who was jailed by Qaddafi and later escaped and moved to Sudan, where he worked for one of Osama bin Laden's holding companies.

Out of Getmo in 2007. Obama and the DNC won’t let the American public hear the end of that.

OK, Bush took actions to make sure the criminals were kept in captivity when the DNC worked to have them freed from Gitmo. He did this by having them analyzed and transferred to points of origin with political regimes known to keep such criminals under lock and key.

When those regimes were overthrown, reportedly by powers friendly to the known terrorists, it was obvious they were released to anybody tracking antiterror intel.

So why would the Sec of State and the POTUS elaborate to the world that the cause of the attacks were due to cartoons and movies and apologize to the same terrorists for our free speech?

Either Obama and Hillary fully knew or plotted for these attacks to happen or they are so incompetent that they apologize to brutal terrorists for our fundamental rights. In either case, there are better qualified candidates for their office.
