It's bad enough that Obama and Holder were complicit in the release of the man that murdered our Ambassador, but now we find out that the Obama Administration labeled him an "ally of sorts".....
The Obama administration promptly labeled Qumu an “ally of sorts,” according to the New York Times – that despite the fact that as of 2005, he was known as a “medium to high risk … likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests and allies.”
What made him an ally? According to the
Times, that status change
was due to the Obama administration’s “remarkable turnabout resulting from shifting American policies rather than any obvious change in Mr. Qumu.”
As a leader of the Libyan rebels, head of the Darnah Brigade, Qumu received support in the way of arms and training from NATO and the USA.
And unnamed Western observers, according to the
Times, felt that Qumu wasn’t a real threat:
“We’re more worried about Al Qaeda infiltration from outside than the indigenous ones … Most of them have a local agenda so they don’t present as much as a threat to the West.”
