The recent series of prison breaks is not coincidental.

In less than a week, we have 500 senior Al Qaeda leaders escape during two assaults on prisons in Iraq, more than 1,000 in a prison assault in Libya, and another 250 in a particularly nasty Taliban assault on a Pakistani prison.

I think they should be injected with Polonium before they leave prison....should be relatively easy to track them and if not, they are not going to go far.

That’s what happens when you put them in prison instead of terminating them. How many American lives are now at risk? We will spend a lot more

Iran, or one of the places Iran is fighting via proxy, which is pretty much everywhere — they really, really don’t want to lose in Egypt, for example, and feel that Syria is fine for the time being.
