What a crock of Sauerkraut. We didn't invent GTMO to circumvent our legal system. Never in our history have we given "PRISONERS OF WAR" even illegal combatants acces to our legal system. If I'm not mistaken, Germany is no different. Ever heard of Stalag 13.

And no one gives a crap if Germany wants to let killers and terrorist go free to buy themselves another day or two before the terrorist turn on them, but if this wasn't giving into the terrorist, Germany could have extradited the piece of filth.

The funny thing is that the membership of Hezbollah was no problem for Germany in 1989, since at that time German justice did not consider the membership of foreign terrorist groups in its lawsuits. That changed after 9/11 when Germany adjusted some of its laws to the new situation. Since Hamadi was never convicted because of the membership in a terrorist group, it is quite likely (I do not know the exact circumstances of course) that this didn't play any role in his evaluation.

Germany could have extradited the piece of filth.

This would be simply impossible. Just take a look at my #80.
