Germany frees killer of U.S. diver

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.

If anyone has read "Wings of Eagles" (I think that was the title), it mentions that the Americans rescued and smuggled out of Iran, were in Germany. They learned there was a good chance the Germans would extradite them back to Iran to face nonsensical made up charges, so they quickly left.

Yeah, right!!! Sure looks like a tit for tat to me and many others. Why couldn't they wait a few months to release him, to avoid all appearances of complicity? Boy, these Euros make my blood boil.

For that reason you would not even get Bin Laden the legal way out of Germany.

Tha day Deutschland tries that is the day Washington breaks diplomatic relations with Berlin, I can assure you.

For the umpteenth time: It is time we pulled every U.S. military troop out of Europe, and let the surrender monkeys fend for themselves. There is simply NO excuse for our propping up of these socialist economies when we have no national interest in keeping troops in their miserable, pussified countries.

Guys, calm down. This is what Germany understands as Justice.

This is what Americans understand as collaboration.

This is beneath contempt.

Realpolitik doesn't surprise me, but there are bright lines and this is way over any of them.

Even measuring this as mere pusillanimity, it is still unforgivable.

Do we have an extradition treaty with Lebanon, so we can bring this guy to the United States to be tried and finally punished?

"Word."

I heard he squealed on a bunch of his jihadi butt buddies and that they tagged him with a RFID tag so anywhere he goes the man can track him. Word.

Pass it on....

Way safer, he was, "was".

BRAVO SIERRA.

Easy to occupy the moral high ground when others have assured your survival by making the hard choices. The choices of survival, the choices that allow you the luxury of your absurdly unrealistic illusion of moral superiority.

WAR is a crime, the only cure is ABSOLUTE VICTORY.

The Germans are a bunch of A-holes granted, but it's illegal there, to be a NAZI.

Because of the greatest generation's decisions and actions.

So..."stick that, ("war crimes" cr@p), in your flat hat".

LOL. Life in prison means 15 years... what rubbish. The German justice system sounds about as threatening as Colonel Klink threatening Hogan with "zee cooler."

Naaah.

Just find out which person in the German government approved the release. And then make sure that the next time he gets into his car, BOOM!

That will sent a clear and concise message to the German government, and it's something very easy to deny involvement with.
