Correction.  They should have executed him 17 years ago.

"Good behavior"? Good behavior?! The dude's a wannabe terrorist. On what planet does "good behavior" get someone like that out early?

He'd be safer in custody. This will work itself out.

Okay, just to play Devil's advocate, a lot of people think he should not be released because he still believes what he believed when he went in. But should we imprison people for their beliefs? And should we imprison people because we think they MIGHT commit a crime?

He conspired to kill Americans, was complicit (at least) in an attack on Red Cross aid workers and published texts advocating violence against Americans worldwide. He also (allegedly) told a reporter not too terribly long ago that he would continue to support Islamic extremism after his release. Beliefs have nothing to do with it. His conduct should have resulted in a life sentence, and had the CIA not been dumb enough to torture a confession out of him, it would have. He's an ongoing threat to Americans. Not to America; America can handle itself. He conspired directly against Americans, and he's being released among us. That's the problem.

This guy should've been shot.
