Where is the effing outrage. I saw a previous thread on this from another day. But, this is the only place I have seen this discussed.
Then tonight which will re-air on MSNBC (2am EST), they had the brother of the Navy Diver discussing the case and while something I recall it has been many years and as I listened again to the facts of that ill fated day, this piece of filth should have been executed and that be that.
NOW, he is being released. Wrong. Where is the coverage on FOX, or CNN. As I said, tonight, Crier is sitting in for Scarborough, they have an exclusive with the brother Robert Dean Stethem, it is really an excellent segment. I will post the transcript of that portion of the show once it is up.
Send a note to your local news channels, op-ed pages etc. We cannot forgot this fine Navy diver, and further more we must ensure that justice is sought for him as well. The Germans did not seem to think much of his life.

This is why it's so laughable when these "enlightened" European countries lecture the US about the death penalty. A life sentence doesn't even mean life over there...or anywhere close to it.

"Terrorist was freed despite U.S. pleas - Efforts by the attorney general failed (outrageous)" Germany fears islamic terrorist reprisals if they extradite this guy to the U.S. Islam has castrated all of Europe and left them b@!!ess.

To Europeans anything more than 19 years for murder is cruel and inhumane. There was a big cry peice in the NY Times a while back, its posted on FR somewhere. The NY TIMES obviously agreed that 19 years or so should be a MAXIMUM sentence

Looks like Germany traded this guy for the Hostage that was held in Iraq

A German citizen is taken hostage in Iraq, this guy is freed and then the hostage is freed. Interesting coincidence.

The only question I have now is what is the President and the administration going to do about it? They can start by telling The German officials, and as far as I'm concerned, civilians also, that they are not welcome here until we have the scum bag in custody.

I think you have a point. This action was well out of left field. As I listened to his brother tonight, it has been so many years but as he spoke the chills and anger I felt well there needs to be action on this and swiftly at that.

I think the US should start targeting terrorist like this piece of garbage for elimination.

Sing it, Sister!
The outrage is right here, and growing by the minute!
Tell everyone you know about the early release of this animal, and email everybody you have ever had contact with in cyberform about this obscenity. My header is,"Remember this? Remember How Awful?" Send it to everyone you have on your list and let it grow!
My new tag line under another name is going to be, " God Forgive Me, But I Hate the HITLERLOVINGGERMANS!"
P.S. Why do they call it "Life in Prison", when they get out in less than 20 yrs.?

...until we have the scum bag in custody. But why would we want to have him in custody? He'd have rights. Ramsey Clark could defend him.

Not only are the Germans against the death penalty, it appears they don't allow anyone to serve LIFE either. Every criminal gets a pass, eventually, in this socialist hellhole.

That's the point. It's one reason why I oppose the anti-death penalty people.
It's only the first goal in their war against punishment.
If they had their way, murder itself wouldn't warrant, even in extreme cases, true life sentences (or even effective ones until ages of 70-80) No, 10-15 years is good enough.
It's not about DEATH (except for a small few.) It's about a prison sentence AT ALL. If they could, they'd let them all free or assign them to group therapy.

I posted the following on another thread about this BS. I think it would be preferable to going through the elongated, expensive process of trying him, putting up with the Usual Suspects trying to Deify him and, finally, after 20 or so years, executing him. My post was;
I would have thought that, rather than rearrest him they would employ the Israeli technique - a la mode MUNICH - to deal with this murderer.
