If they're releasing these guys — to Algeria of all places — they'll release anyone
National Review ^ | 1/23/10 | Andy McCarthy

The Justice Department has announced the release from Gitmo of a terrorist who conspired to bomb Los Angeles International Airport in the 2000 Millennium plot. Hassan Zumiri, who was part of an al-Qaeda affiliated terror cell in Montreal, has been repatriated to his native Algeria — a country so rife with terrorists that it was recently placed on the list of 14 countries whose travelers warrant enhanced screening at airports. Worse, the Justice Department won't say whether the terrorist, Hassan Zumiri, and another Gitmo detainee who was also sent to Algeria will be in custody there. They may be free and clear.

Ahmed Ressam, the main culprit in the Millennium Plot who later cooperated in the investigation, told authorities that Zumiri "knew I was going to America to carry out a job." Zumiri, the Globe and Mail reports, helped Ressam in the bomb plot, "giving him $3,500 and offering a video camera to carry as 'camouflage.' Mr. Ressam also said he asked Mr. Zemiri to find him a pistol, silencer and grenades."

Holder and Barry don’t care....not gotten the memo yet?
The only reason why they temporarily stopped the Yemen transfers is NOT because they realized the danger in doing so or because of what al Qaeda was doing in Yemen, but because of their inept reaction to the attempted terrorist attack on FLight 253 and the sheer public anger that was directed at the Barry administration’s lametard, jack squat handling of the incident.

Nothing new here....other than the ongoing standard modus operandi of the libtard far left and their treatment of terrorists.

Glad Eric Holder saved the terrorists the price of extra plane tickets. Jeebus!
