“Deport to Jordan so he can be locked up? Or handed a big fat check and hailed as a hero to Islam?”
Jordan already tried, convicted and sentenced him to life imprisonment, in his absence.
My actual point is that these are just rival gang turfs in the empire of Islam. When push comes to shove they will all agree on only one thing, the whole rest of the world is the enemy.
That includes us. For the US to trust our relationship over their relationship with their God, is a mistake. If we want justice, we need to administer it ourselves, not trust the enemy to administer it to himself. The war is with the empire, not its vassal states.
