This is an example of a Liberal group literally making common cause with an enemy of this country and achieving a goal that is counter to the safety of Americans.
Saddam Hussein, “the only Mideast leader to publicly praise the 9/11 attacks,” wanted to see Ahmed Hikmat Shakir released by Jordanian security forces, who were holding him due to his involvement with the 9/11 attacks.
Amnesty International decided that it too wanted Ahmed Hikmat Shakir released. They issued an “URGENT ACTION” report demanding the release of Shakir, saying he was “at risk of torture.”
“Pressure from Amnesty and Saddam Hussein worked,” the Journal said. “Mr. Shakir was released and hasn’t been seen since.”
Shakir was present at a January 2000 al-Qaida summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the 9/11 plot was reviewed. Two of the actual 9/11 hijackers were also at the same meeting.
...But for the intervention of Amnesty International, Shakir might be in Guantanamo today – undergoing grilling by U.S. interrogators about al-Qaida’s plans for the next 9/11.
Seeing that the “risk of torture” argument got one terrorist, Shakir, released, Amnesty International is now seeking to use it to get all the terrorists at Gitmo released.
Forget shutting down Gitmo. Shut down Amnesty International.
