Radical Al-Qaeda Operative Freed in the UK

We must stay committed to fight evil globally. Pretty tough to do while cutting 1 trillion in military spending.

This story is straight from HBO's "Homeland" and Showtime's "Sleep Cell", it's really simple, they let him go so they go follow him to the head honcho, the big bird. Remember how they found Al-Megrahi? This stuff works... really.

I can only hope that the UK reaps what they sow. Lets hope these animals keep their destructive behavior confined to the UK.

this is another good example of the media focusing on the wrong current events. They're crucifying Generals for having improper sex lives right on the front page while dirtbags like this are getting off and they'll make it a good side story. sometimes not even.

What a shame, they concentrate on the RA and let these bastards live a free life.....

Why let go representative of ideology of Islam, just as mad dog let go after his capture?

As one of our Allies I really wanted to give the Brits some benefit of doubt.  BUT the more stories like this that come out it's easy to see that Islam has gotten their poison tentacles deeply embeded and that the UK is bending over and taking it in the rear from this radical religion.  The only hope is that someone is able to take this turd ball out and make this world a safer place.  Unfortunately much like the cock roach though they find a deep, dark, dirty hole to hide in and only come out to cause havoc!  Hope the Brits wake up soon before they find themselves taken over and converted to a Muslim Country.

“We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.” — A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, on Twitter yesterday, after the IDF killed a top Hamas leader, Ahmed al-Jabari NOW that is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

the United Kingdom should just drop the title,"United",,me thinks that it harbors more tango's than A-Stan or Pak-stan!

Put a chip in his ass and let him go, have the rat take the poison back to the nest. Then get them all. Fire for Effect!!!!!!

its policies toward Islam and Islamists we ourselves driven into a corner, they (Islamists) have used this seems so possible to reach war on its territory

Hey, this guy looks like the little boy in the movie "The Kingdom" who's all grown up now? WTF? His grandfather was a terrorist and preached Jihad to him made him watch the bombing, essentially brainwashing him.  I tried finding a picture but couldn't.  It's pretty freak'n eary! lol   But alas, I can only hope the UK has a "plan" in affect. :) 

Ladies and gentlemen this is what the legalistic approach to fighting a war looks like.  We've gone back to September 10th 2001 again.

I find his release interesting when you take into account Operation Pillar of Defense . . . . Obviously not a direct correlation, but based on Abu Qatada being a Palestinian native makes things more interesting. Not a sermon, just a though.

WHAT?!! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? THE UNITED KINGD........

oh wait, you said the UK? That explains things.

The answer to "why was he released" is in the first 2 sentences.  He's been incarcerated for ten plus years, and they have not gotten their act together on a trial.  This would be the same reasoning our very own Supreme Court uses when the government comes before it and says "listen, we have no evidence, just a bunch of hearsay, some results of torture, and wild guesses but we'd really like to lock this guy up and throw away the key."  In Qatada's case, they attempted extradition to Jordan, but could not prove to the courts satisfaction that he would not be tortured.  

Of course we can sit here and say "look at that picture, definite bad guy requiring of 7.62 solution," and I'm pretty sure he's a terrorizer.  But in the same way that our own government sort of sucks at terrorist prosecutions (other then FBI entrapment of citizens into throw away cases), the British checks-and-balances continue to lean away from letting their security services do whatever they want (despite having far greater LEGAL powers then our own).  

Also, somebody addressed the CIA extraordinary rendition Hassan Nasr (spelling, pretty sure that was his name).  That operation involved over 2 dozen people, was insanely sloppy, and cracked by the Italian police within days.  Not exactly America's best work when it comes to clandestine operations.  But if back in 2002 he had vanished into a CIA blacksite, only to reappear at GITMO in 2008, he would be off the world stage.  That window was missed, and now those pesky due process issues will not go away.  

My guess on his life expectancy, 3 years max. 

People do more time for selling weed than he did.WTF

Why were charges dropped against Binyam? (if he was a "major Al Q operative") Did he turn?  jeez

Call me Naive but how hard would it be to have someone just shoot him upon release?? Sniper or otherwise...if there are so many blacker than black operatives out there just get one to take this guy out and we are done with it...no records of anything, no one knows who did. Come on this type of stuff has to be going on anyway right?

I'm sorry, but this should come as no surprise. The Brits have gone PC to the extreme. Anything action against Islam there is considered racism. If you check the stats, the most popular baby's name in England is Mohammed. And I'm not trying to be an insensitive redneck... The reality is that the Jihad has been successful in England. The UK is now an outpost of Islamic Empire. The Muslim Brotherhood has their tentacles deep in Uk parliament. I don't expect them to partner with the US in the near future on anything that might offend their fastest growing population bloc.

Another disappointment, after the Lockerbie Bomber fiasco now this guy. Hope he runs straight to Af/Pak and gets introduced to some new tech he hadnt experienced while locked up. Hellfire reservation for one waiting.

/facepalm
