Source: Obama Administration in Talks to Transfer ‘Blind Sheikh’ to Egypt
The Blaze ^ | Sept. 17, 2012 | Erica Ritz

Posted on 09/17/2012 2:43:54 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

The U.S. State Department is currently in negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze.

Glenn Beck revealed the controversial news on his show Monday.

The negotiations are allegedly part of the ongoing discussions with the Egyptian government to resolve the crisis plaguing the Middle East, the source told TheBlaze. Calls to the State Department for comment referred us to the Department of Justice, and nothing has been confirmed.

The Blind Sheikh is serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. His release has been called one of the top priorities of the new Islamist administration in Egypt. Many have pinpointed the cause of last week‘s unrest in Egypt to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release– not an anti-Islam YouTube video.

Kill an ambassador, you can have the convicted terrorist of your choice.


Holy Shiite. Wonder how many of our diplomats they will kill to get Khalid Sheikh Mohamed back??

If this is true, he just lost the election. The blind sheik is responsible for the first WTC terror attack. If he does this he won’t even win NY.

That would mean that Mitt & the weenie Repukes would have to make this a huge campaign issue, since the media will bury it or scream bloody murder about how Mitt is "politicizing" the issue. In other works, the Repukes are too chickensh_t to even bring this up, with the exception of Michelle Bachmann and perhaps 2-3 others. The rest of the Repuke elistists will chastise any Repub (such as Michelle Bachmann) for even raising such a protest. Boehner & McConnell are too concerned about offending 0dumb0's sensitivities. And Mitt & his RINO liberal staff have pretty much neutered themselves during the election against 0dumb0. Sad to say, it will be "Welcome Back, 0dumb0sh_t!

to resolve the crisis plaguing the Middle East

If this is done it will only be the end of the beginning. Once upon a time, America did not negotiate with terrorists. One win or two only emboldens the terrorists. This is known. America has idiots (a mild word for what am thinking) concocting ludicrous decisions to cause more havoc. Must be part of the plan.

I sure do miss President Reagan.

say what ever about Beck and his tears etc but the man broke stories and informed unlike the likes of the phony fraud conservative Hannity.

How many will cover this and how many will investigate and get this info out there?

Video from Libya: ‘Don’t Shoot us! We were sent by Mursi’

There have been questions raised about whether the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya was done in conjunction with the attacks on the Embassy in Cairo. This video brings us closer to answering that question. In fact, it not only points to the same attackers but possibly to Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi himself.

It would be nice if somebody at State was getting disenchanted with Obama, but I think he’s been pretty efficient at purging the opposition. And I would imagine some people have retired rather than carry out his anti-American wishes. I know people who have left the military for that reason.

I would imagine that many are retiring from the military with this Commander-in-Chief. At a tipping point, he can’t get rid of everyone. That point may be too late for this Country. I hope not.

I’m not buying this. It smells to me like misdirection (to label Republicans as nuts and crazies), to keep the discussion away from the crippled economy.
