Another terrorist imprisoned in Guantanamo to walk free
The Biden administration is slated to set free a would-be 9/11 hijacker who has been imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay for his role in the deadly strike on Americans at the World Trade Center, generating outrage from top Republican lawmakers.
Mohammed al-Qahtani, who planned to hijack planes on Sept. 11, 2001, for al Qaeda but was denied entry into the United States, will be transferred to Saudi Arabia following the Biden administration's decision late last week to set him free. He is scheduled to be flown to Saudi Arabia and placed in a "custodial rehabilitation and mental health care program for extremists," according to the New York Times.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Ala.), lead Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, called the Biden administration's decision "an appalling capitulation to the far-left."
"Letting a 9/11 hijacker walk free is an appalling capitulation to the far-left," Rogers said. "On Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people—Mohammed al-Qahtani was supposed to be one of the hijackers that day. He flew to America to participate in the attack and would have succeeded but for sharp-eyed INS [Immigration and Naturalization Service] agents. The leader of the 9/11 attacks, Mohamed Atta, was waiting in the airport parking lot to pick up al-Qahtani when he was denied entry to the United States."
Al-Qahtani is one of 39 accused terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. Most were freed and transferred to other countries during the Obama administration. Now the Biden administration is following suit as part of a bid by Democrats to shut down the facility. Al-Qahtani is reportedly mentally ill, and the U.S. government admitted in 2008 that he was tortured, complicating efforts to try him at the Cuba-based war court.
While the Biden administration claims al-Qahtani no longer poses a threat, reports from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have shown that terrorists freed by the United States often make their way back to the battlefield.
This is a bad idea.
Meanwhile the Jan 6th tards remain in solitary.
I hope we can start honking until freedom improves like those ballsy Canadians.
All depends on whose side you're on.
Does achmed get a crack pipe as a parting gift?
Obama released terrorists...they returned to being terrorists.
There is a way to make sure these enemies of the state never walk free again . . . I really wish our law enforcement officers would take advantage of it more often than they do.
>>>Obama released terrorists...they returned to being terrorists.<<<
Why do you think he is not the one behind releasing this one as well?
Question: How much did Hunter negotiate for "The Big Guy" to do this?
Hey Joe , was there a job that opened up in the TaliBiden ?
I’m sure he is.
What?
This guy will probably show up at the southern border sooner or later.
Release him from a plane at 35000 feet
Because it worked so well when Obama did it
I guess he and Hunter plan on doing business with Muslims now along with the Chinese.
And the terrorists 0bama released went back to war against 0bama's enemies, US citizens.
It’s okay.
He intended to destroy the world trade center but was prevented from doing so. So, intentions are not enough and only the completion of the dastardly act would have been prosecutable.
It’s the same with any one that threatens to kill a president. If he didn’t actually get to complete the act, it’s not prosecutable.
Democrats attempted to remove a duly elected president from office, but, since they could not complete the act, they must be forgiven and prosecuting them would be intolerable.
So, would be crimes, no matter how big or small, must be ignored since they didn’t actually get to fruition.
(All of that is democrat-think, so, don’t fault me)
I’ll say it. They should’ve all been tortured for info and then executed. Quickly.
Come on Man......Joey is just being Joey.
Like Obama said, “never underestimate Biden’s ability to f*ck things up.” Joey is just living up to his potential
