A group of Congressional leaders released a copy of a letter sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder expressing concern about the possible release of Omar Abdel Rahman following a report by TheBlaze that the U.S. State Department has held internal discussions about whether to consider a request from Egypt to transfer custody of the so-called Blind Sheikh, the radical Islamist cleric convicted in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing,
We are concerned about recent reports that the Obama administration is considering the release of Oma Abdel-Rahman to the custody of Egypt for humanitarian and health reasons, the letter begins. If these reports are true, such considering would be extremely disconcerting as release of this convicted terrorist should not happen for any reason.
To see the full, two-page letter, signed by the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith and seven other committee chairs click here.
Last night, TheBlaze spoke with Rep. Louie Gomert (R-TX) specifically about the reported request made by the Egyptian government. When asked how the U.S. should respond to a request to release or transfer custody of the blind sheik, Gormert responded:
Were not entertaining anything from you until you get your country under control and stop this inflaming of the attacks against America.
That should have been the response But we have a very weak president that thinks if he can just give away enough money and just give enough apologies that theyll end up loving us and these people not only do not love you for making apologies for things you shouldnt, they develop contempt just like a bully on the schoolyard does if he beats you up and you apologize to him and give your lunch money. He doesnt love you.
I just saw two pictures of our Ambassador to Egypt sent to me by a friend. He certainly didn’t look like he died from smoke inhalation. He body was bloody. These muslims capable of every evil, dark, demonic act under the sun. The Sheikh should rot in prison and our so-called president just says - I’m sorry. He disgusts me too.
thanks- i will try later and report...
BTTT!
Paging Mitt!
Breitbart just links to the Blaze article and source, and includes some additional speculation by Andrew McCarthy.
Somebody recently accused Hillary of working for the muslim brotherhood.
The bottom line is this; 0bama is capitulating to terrorist threats and demands.
LOL
Where did that idea come from? /s
Perhaps we need more signatories.
I think so. Did they give House members a chance to sign on? I bet Bachmann and West would sign it in a heartbeat for starters.
Thanks onyx.
Precisely.
