Germany frees killer of U.S. diver
Anyone see this one yet? I wonder if we'll disappear this guy.
Germany frees killer of U.S. diver By CNN Correspondent Chris Burns Tuesday, December 20, 2005 Posted: 1431 GMT (2231 HKT) BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A Hezbollah militant sentenced to life in Germany for murdering a U.S. Navy diver during the 1985 hijacking of a U.S. jetliner has been freed, officials said. The German government denied on Tuesday the release was related to the freeing of a German hostage in Iraq. Mohammed Ali Hamadi was released Thursday and allowed to return to his native Lebanon on the next day, after qualifying for parole after 19 years in prison, said Ulrich Hermanski, spokesman for the North Rhine Wesphalia state justice ministry. "There was no special treatment," Hermanski said in a telephone interview. The decision was a state, not federal one, said federal Justice Ministry spokeswoman Eva Schmierer told a news conference. "The federal government has nothing to do with it," she said. She denied reports the U.S. government had an extradition request for Hamadi. Hamadi was convicted in 1989 in Frankfurt, Hessen state, for the beating and shooting of Robert Dean Stethem, a 23-year-old U.S. Navy diver whose body was thrown on the tarmac at Beirut airport during the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. The U.S. Navy has named one of its ships after Stethem, who is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The German government also denied there was any link between Hamadi's release and the freeing of Suzanne Osthoff, a German archaeologist, in Iraq last week. "There is no relation between the release of Hamadi and the release of Osthoff," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger told the news conference. Asked about the timing of Hamadi's release just weeks before Chancellor Angela Merkel's first trip to Washington, and whether it would hurt relations with the United States, her spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm declined immediate comment.

They have it all backwards...the way to release the guy back to Lebanon was to take him 35,000' over it and kick his a$$ out the door.

Does no one think it ironic if the man were a crack head in a big city who had murdered a military man, he would have been out in 10 years? 15 at tops?

Someone call that Smerkel /Werkel broad and tell her to stay home. Some Germans have short memory. This deal smells bad.
