NEW YORK – In 1973, a young terrorist named Khalid Duhham Al-Jawary entered the United States and quickly began plotting an audacious attack in New York City.
He built three powerful bombs — bombs powerful enough to kill, maim and destroy — and put them in rental cars scattered around town, near Israeli targets.
The plot failed. The explosive devices did not detonate, and Al-Jawary fled the country, escaping prosecution for nearly two decades — until he was convicted of terrorism charges in Brooklyn and sentenced to 30 years in federal penitentiary.
But his time is up.
In less than a month, the 63-year-old Al-Jawary is expected to be released. He will likely be deported; where to is anybody's guess. The shadowy figure had so many aliases it's almost impossible to know which country is his true homeland.

You're advocating what? That he not be released after having served his term? That the administration should have the power to override the judicial branch? What?

One of his dozens of aliases will be seen in headlines again.
I say we embed a tracking device deeply into his abdomen somewhere. Then, if he's engaged in further terrorist activity - which is likely - he simply gets terminated.

This is the price you pay for living in a free society.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Now... we both know that if/when this guy blows something up and kills a bunch of Americans, people all over are going to be screaming, "Why did Obama let him go?!?!?!?!?!"
Hence, the difficulty.
