RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (CNN) -- The U.S.-born, Saudi national who has spent nearly three years in U.S. custody as an enemy combatant was still being held Wednesday night. Yaser Esam Hamdi, 24, remained in a U.S. Navy brig in South Carolina as U.S. and Saudi officials haggled over terms of his release, a deal that was reached last week between Hamdi's attorney and the Justice Department.

Isn't PC liberalism wonderful? Any rational nation would have executed this Jihadi thug long ago. Does the US do this? Have we executed a single Jihadi? No. Instead, we give them access to the ACLU and PC-crapweasel Federal judges. As if that's not bad enough, we make an agreement that would allow a terrorist to re-enter the United States in a decade. How's that for suicidal Kool-Aid drinking?

Mind you, this is all taking place under an allegedly "conservative" administration! It makes one truly wonder what a complete leftist crapweasel like Kerry would do - give him a Bronze Star? PC is destroying us from within. It is far more dangerous than the Jihadis themselves. If this keeps up, they'll simply march in and take over because we will have rotted away from within. I'm sure Osama must having a good laugh over this about now.
