If I were her, I wouldn't say much until I got out of Dodge. Yeah, I understand the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum is considered sovereign U.S. Territory.

But so was the U.S.Consulate in Benghazi.

A google News search found this from just one day ago! "President Obama should speak out publicly and call upon the government of Sudan to free Meriam Ibrahim."

What the hell is that dope doing? Why hasn't he done something?

Speaking out or providing refuge would slander those who follow the prophet and the new U S policy is to abide by sharia law on all foreign or domestic matters.

Why should he want to help to set a Christian free when he himself sides with Islam?

She spoke in brief measured tones ...very wise. Few could maintain such dignified statement given the immense threat breathing down every door that has been opened to her and her protectors.

Our phony president doesn’t care about our Marine in Mexico, so he certainly doesn’t care for a Sudanese Christian woman. He’s too busy campaigning against republicans in CA and MN...the only thing he knows how to do.

From what was reported she was in or on her way to the airport as they turned around and ordered her re-arrested on some other sharia offence. How she managed to get to the consulate is yet to be revealed.

Glad to hear it. I’ll be happier still when I hear she is safely out of Islamic Territory and maybe being interviewed on Fox News.

Maybe Obama was working a deal to trade her for more GITMO detainees....

That actually would not surprises me as far fetched as that sounds...
