The Dutch have extradited terrorists before. They usually only hold up extradition requests when the suspect is a Dutch national, which this jihadi is not.
I’m conflicted about this. If they bring him over here, they’ll lawyer him up, hold a megamillion dollar trial, and probably let him go. It might be better to leave him infesting the Netherlands.
If anyone but Obama and Holder were in charge, I’d say differently. They’d probably make the guy an honorary member of SEIU.
