Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the suspect captured by U.S. special forces on Tuesday for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack, reportedly said he was motivated in part by the anti-Islam online video made in America, according to the New York Times.

"What he did in the period just before the attack has remained unclear. But Mr. Abu Khattala told other Libyans in private conversations during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video," Times reporter David Kirkpatrick wrote in a story on Khattala on Tuesday.

"Plea deal."

Yep. Say the video made you do it, we'll bring you to DC, get you a soft judge, an all-black, Obama-loving jury, and get you off. Then you can write a book.

[Rock N Jones]

Now Obama plainly said in the Rose Garden that it was terrorist that did it and a fat lady piped up and she said yes he said it! Case closed!

[Vendome]

Of course he did...

[Aria]

Because he’ll get off easy if he goes along with the lie.

[Mark17]

Why is this terrorist covering for Obama?

Oh, I don't know. Did anyone check to see if his bank account grew by about 10 million dollars lately?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

His family will be well taken care of.

[TigersEye]

Bull crap!

[Gene Eric]

Make the suspect don a Redskins helmet and force him to speak the truth!

[Noamie]

I think Abdul was referring to the film, Snakes on a Plane.

I also wanted to riot.

We feel your pain, Abdul.

[jocon307]

Well, that shows you what kind of people who believe the MSM.

[LibWhacker]

I dunno, but it's a tad suspicious:

[onedoug]

Another islamist liar. Just like Øbama.

[Williams]

All the more reason to kill him. We have Free Speech and piss on Muhammed. Hilary and Obama are disgraces.

And yes of course he made it up for the NYT. Kill him.

[Williams]

To paraphrase Hilary, what difference would it make?

Yeah it was the video. On 9-11. Yeah right.

Who could have expected that? Maybe the ambassador when he begged for more security?

[GOPJ]

OMG - that’s funny....

[GOPJ]

Maybe. Or he was threatened....

[DanielRedfoot]

Excellent point!

Since when do these captured jihadist get to make public statements ?

Especially when they are first picked up and still being interviewed by the Feds, /military.

I don’t remember hearing any statements even from the gizmo crowd.

[Dogbert41]

I think before the attack, there was something like 6 views of the video, probably all from the Whitehouse to make sure it was working.

[jersey117]

obongo and Hillary need to cover for each other on this one. We’ll never get the truth and there will be no consequences.

Khatallah also said that with Obamacare, if you like your doctor and health insurance you can keep it, period.
