From the article:

But, in 2010 Gaddafi freed him from the notorious Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, along with 37 other prisoners, to celebrate the dictator's 41st year in power.

Am wondering where this information is leading to, and is the information accurate?

I thought the ambassador was killed by a video.

Meanwhile IRAN flys men, weapons and provisions over IRAQ into SYRIA. All happily sponsored by Russia’s Putin. Iranian warships have passed thru Suez canal with Egyptian brotherhood blessing transiting to E Mediterranean stations near Tel Aviv. LIBYAN Civil war trophy weapons, missiles, etc. disappeared where?

American intelligence services are despondent without interested users. MSM reports diddily squat puffs ball slanderous editorial infotainment designed to condition their consumers into the numbness of Islamic dhimmitude. . http://www.dhimmitude.org/

We are cascading into intentional global irrelevance. That was his hope and change.

Why would we release a terrorist to a terrorist? It’s hard to argue that Bush wasn’t dumb.

I do not believe a WORD of this story. The Administration had a week to come up with a story line that deflected blame onto someone else - first the video (didn’t work), and now BUSH. I am calling total B.S. on this.

And HERE is the $16 Trillion question: Did Eric “The Coward” Withholder represent this douche-bag in his former role as a defense attorney for the ‘guests’ at the Gitmo Resort?

very possible. 3,000 hours reportedly donated to detainees from what is left on the net.

Missing main point:

Gumu was released under Obama’s watch by Qadaffi in 2010. The Obonehead admin should have put him back in gitmo immediately. The Bush admin would have. Or wacked him...

From what is discernible from the net and from what is left on the net (looks like some things have been scrubbed (imho), court decisions with the help and defense of detainees, by Eric the Red Witholder, may have forced President Bush’s hand. Someone suggested Fast and Furious v. 2.0

One has to wonder if the report is accurate and Qadaffi was this stupid or was something else unreported or someone else involved in the release. Was Qadaffi bribed, threatened, or asked politely by someone to make the release. Having a difficult time buying it was due to Qadaffi’s anniversary of holding power. This appears coerced (imo). No proof, simply speculation.

But he was their hero! He ended up a leader of the Benghazi "rebels" who the Admin. and the idiot McCain supported.
