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

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.

We’ve had Muzzie protests in Brissie and elsewhere - from what I gather they’re mighty PO’d at them. Lots of counter protests that you don’t hear in the media. It’s going to get ugly world wide I think.

Because obama is an islamist. That’s why.

People have almost forgotten about the first attack. Heck, they’ve almost forgotten about 9/11.

They need to be reminded that 6 people died, and over a 1,000 people were injured in the first World Trade Center bombing.

If it were me in the chair, the jihadi would be dropped into a pen full of feral pigs which had not been fed in 4 days.

That would have to be one of the worst deaths imaginable for them.

The sad part is you’re probably right. The hardest part is, trying to figure out which way it’s gonna go.

I wouldn’t put it passed them to pull a Reichstag maneuver to try and get world-wide support.

Hell, why not Ramzi Yousef and Zacharias Mousawi, too? Hell, let’em all out. Why not, the freaking world has been turned upside down anyway?
