Germany frees killer of U.S. diver
CNN ^ | 12/20/05 | Correspondent Chris Burns

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A Hezbollah militant sentenced to life in Germany for murdering a U.S. Navy diver during the 1985 hijacking of a U.S. jetliner has been freed, officials said.

The German government denied on Tuesday the release was related to the freeing of a German hostage in Iraq.

Mohammed Ali Hamadi was released Thursday and allowed to return to his native Lebanon on the next day, after qualifying for parole after 19 years in prison, said Ulrich Hermanski, spokesman for the North Rhine Wesphalia state justice ministry.

"There was no special treatment," Hermanski said in a telephone interview.

He should die the same way he killed.

I remember this Robert Stetham's death as if it were yesterday. It was a barbaric brutal murder. Too bad the rest of the world is so quick to forgive and forget. Any bets on how soon this low life will resume his life of jihad?

The Diver in question was I believe Robert Stetham (sp). He attempted to hide his ID Card as the highjackers were targeting individuals with "military style" haircuts, but was discovered none-the-less. Easier to ID then rather than nowadays.

He was apparently treated very poorly before they killed him and (I seem to recall)dumped him onto the Tarmac of the airport. Yeah, ... just say something about how we are torturing terrorists!

Hopefully, we take a page out of the Israeli play book on the Olypic massacre, and ol Mo has a sudden accident....

I believe he will have trouble getting life insurance. Odds are he doesn't make it to Ramadan. The Mid-East is a very dangerous place. Lots of building to fall from, sharp pointed objects, loose electical wires. He could have an accident. He was safer in jail.

I think they made a movie based on the events. If true, they beat the man half to death before putting a bullet in his brain.

McInsane will insist we give him three square meals a day, a nice massage and twice weekly manicures.
