Yemen Frees 113 Al Qaeda Members
Associated Press/FNC ^ | 11/25/04 | Staff

SAN`A, Yemen — Yemeni authorities have released 113 militants belonging to the Al Qaeda network — including at least five once accused of involvement in the deadly bombing of the USS Cole — after they recanted their extremist views, security officials said Thursday.

The militants once accused in the USS Cole bombing were later cleared. The 15 Yemeni militants convicted in August of involvement in the 2000 bombing, which killed 17 U.S. sailors, were not released.

The 113 men were released during the past two weeks after signing pledges not to carry out terror acts or criminal activities. LoL!!!

They recanted their "extremist" views? Anybody out there believe that? What about their terrorist views? One more in the "Against Us" column in the WoT. Sheesh.

Apparently their responses to "so how does THAT make you feel" were considered a more concerning impact than their response to "blotted pictures".

This is why that Marine in Fallujah was right. The rules of engagement against terrorists should be amended to read: "Kill on sight".

Good grief. Did the Yemens want to make sure they had time to get to Baghdad before the elections?

"Yemeni authorities have released 113 militants belonging to the Al Qaeda network — including at least five once accused of involvement in the deadly bombing of the USS Cole — after they recanted their extremist views, security officials said Thursday"

I sit here and raise my right hand to head height, extend my index finger thusly. I assume a vacuous expression and smile, similiar to that of a Cabbage Patch doll. I insert the tip of my extended, right index finger into the dimple on the right side of my face and say...

DDDDDUUUUUURRRRRUUUUUUHHHHHH?!?

I remove the finger and vacuous expression and say "thanks a freakin LOT Yemen, have you been listening to Binny's favorite wife channeling his tortured spirit again? How much 'lost' Iraqi blood for food money have YOU GUYS been paid off with??"

***

As with Saudi, there are three factions within the Yemeni bureaucracy that we have to sift through: A. those that really want to help us because they like our money and fear our bombs, B. those who sneak through the shadows, making back room deals and helping terrorists acheive their objective attacks, and the third and most numerous, those who are both A and B.

All Pan Arabist countries are like that, and it's option B, combined with international law that screws us up and gets us killed.

Still, the fact that the info has hit in the news might give us hope that the dogs have been loosed and the rats will be closely watched and hunted if necessary.

Couldn't we treat it like a side show shooting gallery and as they walk out of the prison, pick them off one at a time.

If they're not already, they'll probably shortly be in Iraq, where ours or other coalition forces will get them.
