US Drops "Charges" Against Hamdi, Clears His Return to Saudi Arabia

[BurtWorm]

Amazing, considering they never charged Hamdi with anything but held him for more than two years.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department has reached agreement with a U.S. citizen held as an enemy combatant for more than two years, clearing the way for him to return to Saudi Arabia, officials said Wednesday.

The agreement also means that despite his long incarceration, Yaser Esam Hamdi will not face any criminal charges in the United States.

Hamdi, born in Baton Rouge, La., and raised in Saudi Arabia, will be flown by the Defense Department to Saudi Arabia as soon as transportation can be arranged. He was being held in a Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. He holds citizenship in Saudi Arabia.

``I am gratified at the prospect that Mr. Hamdi's return to Saudi Arabia and his family is now only days away,'' Hamdi's lawyer, federal public defender Frank Dunham Jr., said in a statement.

1. As we know, Saudi Arabia has no links to terror

Else our President wouldn't shield them at every turn. Right?

2. Justice?

An American citizen held for two years with no charges. Could it happen to any one of us?

In the meantime we have a person at one of the highest levels of Govt. who admitted to violating The Geneva Convention and The US Constitution that is not charged with a thing.


Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumfailed has commted two violations of the Geneva Convention; thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

It is obvious that this is the case!.

3. A US Citizen is deported to Saudi Arabia? At his request?
