Twisted American knickers

To the considerable outrage of the Americans the Yemeni authorities have released Jamal al-Badawi, one of the leaders of the bombing of the USS Cole that resulted in the deaths of 17 US sailors. Al-Badawi, who had previously escaped from prison after being convicted in the bombing, turned himself in and then was released after pledging his loyalty to the government and promising to give up terrorism. The US State Department expressed their displeasure and said that "he was convicted in Yemeni courts and has been indicted in the Southern District of New York".

I know that those who are not deep thinkers and might try to compare these actions to the release of known terrorist Luis Posada Carilles by American authorities and the refusal to extradite Sr. Posada to either Venezuela or Cuba where he is wanted on charges of organising the bombing of Cubana Flight 455 in 1976. The plane blew up over the Carribean and all 73 aboard died.

Well I can tell you that there is no similarity at all between these two cases. One is a bad, Muslim evildoer who attacked lovely Americans and the other is a good, Catholic choir boy who attacked evil communists! Unfortunately I can't shed any more light on this or I would have to kill you.
