Arabia
Saudis deny freeing 'repentant' terrorists
2005-10-24
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia denied Monday that it had released repentant terrorists who planned bombings in which many people were killed. A spokesman at the interior ministry, who requested anonymity, told United Press International, "Reports on the release of two repentant terrorists among those who proved to have planned the terrorist attacks are completely untrue."
"But..."
He stressed that "a few have been released among those who deviated slightly from the right path of Islam and then acknowledged that they were wrong and repented." The source said the repentant extremists were released only after their families promised to keep them on the right path.
So, you only released slighty deviant islamists who promised to be good.
Saudi daily newspaper Okaz reported Sunday that several prisoners held on suspicion of having planned terrorist attacks were released after repenting for their wrongdoings.
They released them, but didn't release any of them except for the ones they admit releasing. Got that?

#6  Saudis deny freeing 'repentant' terrorists

They freed the unrepentant ones instead.

I'm all for "freeing" some cruise missiles. Uncap a few well-heads for every terrorist they release.

One more time ... GET OFF THE OIL TEAT, NOW! So long as we are beholden to these maggots, we have no recourse.

I'm sure the "right path" has many exit ramps...

#4  I imagine that freedom really equated to going to work for Nayef... a more twisty-curvy miasma of Arab-style logic and loyalties is hard to imagine.

Oh yeah, right.
Doesn't their religion allow them to lie?

#1  So did they free the ones who were sorry they killed, or the ones who were sorry they didn't kill more infidels?
