Far Left Law Firm Represented Gitmo Detainee Who Reportedly Murdered US Ambassador
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, September 20, 2012, 3:55 PM
Islamic terrorists attacked the US embassy in Benghazi with rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire on 9-11. The terrorists were reportedly led by Sufyan Ben Qumu, a former Gitmo detainee and US-backed rebel forces leader.
Libyans dragged the body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens out of the compound after his murder. Al- Ahram
Far left firm Center for Constitutional Rights represented Sufyan Ben Qumu and helped with his release.
Michelle Malkin reported:
Longtime readers know that I’ve extensively covered the troublesome conflict of interest at the Department of Justice involving Attorney General Eric Holder and his former law firm, Covington and Burling, which has represented a score of Gitmo detainees. See my archive of posts on the matter here. Many readers have asked whether the firm represented Abu Sufian bin Qumu, the former Gitmo detainee released in 2007 — and now named as the possible lead plotter in the bloody attacks on our consulate personnel, staff, and private security contractors in Benghazi.
The left-wing organization that helped spring Qumu was the Center for Constitutional Rights. Last April, the group issued an indignant press release painting Qumu as a harmless victim and blasting those concerned about his unrepentant jihadi ways. After a trove of Gitmo documents found their way to Wikileaks and were published by the New York Times, CCR rose to Qumu’s defense and parroted jihadi propaganda that the aggrieved Qumu was actually a friend of the U.S.
And thanks to these terrorist apologists our ambassador and three fellow Americans are dead today.

If I had to venture a guess, I’d say they probably don’t care.

I say the law firm should be held accountable and face civil penalties on behalf of the deceased for assisting and abetting in a crime.
In the meantime
Obama is stoking the winds of war by inciting these barbaric dimwit savages to go on the rampage.
OBAMA and his administration new three days before that AL Qaida was going to use Sept 11 to retaliate for Drone killings. . . The ones HE, Obama himself, authorizes.
So what does Obama do to prepare embassies all over, especially in hotbed countries. .NOTHING. . that’s right. . NOTHING!!!!
But it gets better. .to deflect any criticisms from his administrations, he has the US Egyptian Embassy issue an apology for a film (if you can call it that) that was released IN JULY to get mobs of dimwits agitated and go on a rampage. .
I SAY IT IS OBAMA WHO INSTIGATED THESE RIOTS. . .
It is the leftist way to distract. . .
and he stokes it each and every time he attacks America’s free speech and our way of life instead of condemning the assailants.
And Obozo does’t even put pressure on host governments to assist and protect our people and property. . .
Then he lies. .
Obama lies – – – Democracy dies . . . and so do Ambassadors, Seals and aides!
Time to send Obama packing. . .

I am waiting for someone to show some respect for our patriots, our troops who are watching and are in anger sitting there watching this president who is suppose to be the commander in Chief and he has completely shame them. These were terrorists and now ads and apologies, OUR TROOP FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM HERE, AND THAT DID INCLUDE FREEDOOM OF SPEECH WITH NO APOLOGY.
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ARE SHEDDING TEARS, TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.

this is why you aren’t seeing the MSM blame Bush for the guy getting lose. I remember this case. They claimed he was “only a driver” and not a jihadist.
I think I laughed so hard that day I heard it I spit coffee out my nose!

But Dim Jim and the rest of you forgetful morons, wasn’t George W. Bush the President of the USA in the year of 2007?
Why are you and that idiot Michelle Malkin trying to blame his release from GITMO on a left-wing law firm?
Nobody was released from GITMO without approval of the US Government, which was run by your side in 2007.

There you go again, with the straw people. Instead of addressing the points raised, you pretend the conversation is about something else.
By the way, aren’t you aware that a lawyer is ethically required NOT to lie about his client? Not to the court, and not to the press.
