Libya demands return of Ahmed Abu Khatallah
I can see that happening. The Justice minister of the Libyan governor is pretty upset that our special forces soldiers snatched Ahmed Abu Khatallah from Libya this weekend, according to Reuters;
“We had no prior notification. We did not to expect the U.S. to upset our political scene,” [Justice Minister Saleh al-Marghani] told a news conference.
He said Khatalah had been wanted by Libyan authorities for questioning but a lack of security had prevented this.
Khatallah has been quoted in the past as saying that if he’s guilty we should “come and get” him. Well, there you go.
USAToday says that Khatallah has been “hiding in plain sight” in Benghazi since the September 11th, 2012 attack on the consulate there;
Khatallah, a key suspect in the attack who officials say was captured Sunday in Libya, was famously spotted just weeks after the deadly assault that left four Americans dead, sipping a strawberry frappe on the patio of a Benghazi hotel.
In the hotel scene, detailed by The New York Times, Khattallah is wearing a fez and sandals and accusing U.S. leaders of “using the consulate attack just to gather votes for their elections.”
Well, I’m sure he’ll enjoy the frappes he’ll be consuming in the prison system, too.

Justice Minister Saleh al-Marghani can go f@ck himself. He does speak in English better than VWP though, so he has that going for him. As to the terrorist we nabbed, again Mr. Justice Minister, GFY and then GFY. Try applying the title of your job to a little justice in Libya.
I think we should give them Commander Monkress at All-Points Logistics instead.
GT: Could we toss in Bill Blake of Bartlesville, Okla (Zippy the Pinhead) as an added prize?
He does not even respond to calls like he used too.
Just texts threating you, your family, etc.
Just a complete fraud and worthless SOB.
Go ahead – return him – but strap him to a missile for the trip.
My name is streetsweeper and I approve of this method of delivery.
*bowing, bowing*
Sure- does he have any deserters to trade? After all- Hillary said “… http://www.hyscience.com/what-difference-does-it-make-meme-generator-what-difference-does-it-make-ee8d52_zps7f4cd1051.jpg“
Waa, waa, f*ckety waa!
I don’t get this at all, other than the timing, which we discussed here yesterday. On the face of this, it would appear that Khatalla will walk. I mean, he was reportedly mirandized and is not being terated as an enemy combatant but a run-of-the-mill criminal. And Holder and Co. will ensure that all of the rights now to be conferred on Khatalla are honored. So, how does this square with the kidnapping. And it appears that it was a kidnapping, effected unilaterally by the US without notice to Libya,. Hell, I don’t even know whether we havean extraditiuon treaty with Libya. my point is this: The first thing I would argue if I were Khatalla is that his arrest and detention by US agents in Libya was illegal. And Holder, being the old terrorist defense atty that he is, will say what? And, oh, did you know that Khatalla wasn’t added to the US terrorist list until January? This whole thing stinks to high heavens. It’s rotten. And, no, although they are about a half dozen other Benghazi terrorsist ID’ed, he’s the only one they went after. The others are now very, very deep, you can bet. I’m telling you, this is rotten to its core.
2/17 Air Cav…Someone said it yesterday. He was low hanging fruit to pick. For the whole and sole purposes of deflecting other scandals from Obama. Obama, knowing full well ahead of time, what Holder would and will do. I imagine Obama and Holder have had the outcome planned well before he was snagged.
What a bunch of ingrates. They make these public pleas and America makes those wishes come true and we are the bad guys. They want to see Allah we oblige, F-Nuts was playing NA NA hide and seek and lost.
BTW the crime was commited on American Soil against Our Embassador, which is supposed to be an Act of War.
He wasn’t playing hide-and-seek. He was living under a billboard that pointed to him and read, “Here I am!” So, he interviewed with the NYT and even with Fox News but The Emperor says, “We will find you!” No shit. As I said yesterday here, he was listed in the Benghazi phone book. What should have happened was–quietly and w/o fanfare–he should have turned up mysteriously dead. But NOOOOOOOO, The Emperor wanted some credit, not to mention a distraction from the shit bucket he is standing in. As I say, we’ll probably be paying Khatalla damages in the future, not to mention a first-class seat when he returns to Libya.
I really should slow down and check my stuff before hitting the Post Comment button. The errors are too numerous to list. I promise to do better in the future. Also, my keyboard seems to fo things on its own. I swear I hit the D button in “fo things” but you see what happened. So, I’ll TRY to do better but I really do have to share the non-editing blame with my funky keyboard.
I have a counter-offer:
When the government is done with him, I will give them TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS to release him into my custody at a spot of their choosing, that I might turn him into low grade dog chow.
you got something against dogs?
Like this:
By all means return him to Libya.
Put him on a plane.
About 30,000 feet over the Gulf of Sidra, show him the door.
If you can’t fly, you better hope you can swim…
Dear Libya –
How about you go fuck yourself? With a chainsaw? Dipped in sulfuric acid?
KTHXBAI!
Murrica
They will probably trade him for the K-9 that was captured……
I say we lo-jack him and then send him back. Once he’s with his home-boyz, we send them a little greeting.
Well, I’m sure he’ll enjoy the frappes he’ll be consuming in the prison system, too.
Except prison frappes lack the pleasant taste of strawberry and have a more, how do I put this, pungent aroma.
Send him back after we execute his ass and send the air freight bill to Libya prior to shipment.

Too bad about that last line Libyan thing. I say just before we send him home we shave his head and beard and tattoo a Mogen David and a cross on his forehead, and circumcise him.
To demonstrate Christian charity, I recommend we fly him back, normal airliner. He gets the same seat the kid took to Hawaii a coupla months back… the one in the wheelwell.
Duct tape him to a Tomahawk and light that bad boy off. Tape Sealy McChippendale of other side and counterweight.
Put […] on the nose to pilot to Tripoli. Don’t worry, it’s a solid propellant motor so he doesn’t need to check for gas.
Um, NHSparky – only the takeoff-booster for the TLCM is solid fuel. The missile itself is powered by a turbofan – which does burn liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
After the first minute or so, it won’t really matter. Besides, Wickre probably drank it anyway.
Obummer is such a laughing stock chump even Libya is getting in on the action.
Too bad Obummer can’t be relieved due to “loss of confidence in ability to command”.
I like the ideas of returning him strapped to a missle, but we could save time and money by returning him in, say, 35 or so 5 pound packages…..
I’m told he’d prefer to be called Chelsea Abu Khatallah now.
The important question here is, did the Libyans use a really cool Twitter hashtag to ask for their guy back? That seems to be the key to modern diplomacy judging by the manner in which the State Department has been operating of late.
We can drop him off from 30,000 feet.
In the words of my epic military father…”Tough titty.” Booyah!
