no way the US will release that dude in 2013.
Fox News has obtained a three-page intelligence report showing that two days before the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, a statement incited "sons of Egypt" to pressure America to release the so-called blind sheikh "even if it requires burning the embassy down with everyone in it."
The web statement, apparently posted on Sept. 9, was in reference to the embassy in Egypt. It preceded a throng of demonstrators breaching the U.S. Embassy wall in Cairo, supposedly in protest over an anti-Islam film. Obama administration officials claim that attackers in Libya then took their cue from Cairo and seized the opportunity to attack the consulate in Benghazi.

I guaranty the US will capitulate to these demands before there is a new President.
Any takers?

You think Obama, if he is reelected and does not have to face the voters again, would be above such an appeasement? I am not so confident of that. It would not even surprise me too much if he granted the 'blind shiek' a full commutation of his sentence and released him on the way out of office in January, 2017.
Ain't going to happen 06. The Democrats don't need that albatross hanging around their neck for the next 40 years. Already saw the blowback from the Brits releasing that Lockerbie bomber prick. That wasn't pretty. There is no upside. Unless you're one of those mental patients that thinks he's some closet Muslim revolutionary
A group of House Republican chairmen wrote Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder today to protest any deal that might free the “blind sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman to Egypt for humanitarian and health reasons.

The U.S. State Department is actively considering 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.

Glen Beck has been reporting it as well. Not sure what everyone thinks of him, but he has been spot on with them Muslim Brotherhood.
IF they release him it should be at 30,000 ft with an acme anvil and a mattress
I hardly think that any president wants to leave behind a legacy that he released a man directly/indirectly responsible for killing Americans. Granted if Obama is re-elected, he knows he's going to be facing a much tougher audience watching his every move. The risks for Americans abroad has always been high, but to release this man, in my opinion, isn't going to appease the Muslims. If nothing else, it'll only embolden them into committing further attacks.
If I may add.....that's one man I wouldn't mind paying my tax dollars to suffer a slow and agonizing death behind bars. I'll take that over him getting a free plane ride back to Egypt.
Pssst...it was a spontanious event caused by right wing hate...the whole of Avatar...ahem Islam is pure.
