Program sets al-Qaeda convicts free on their honor

Obey "the" law.

To Islamofascists there is only one law and they are obeying it.

And they have the blood on their hands to prove it.

SAN'A, Yemen – Yemen is pioneering a novel approach for dealing with convicted al-Qaeda operatives: Let them roam free as long as they promise to be law-abiding.
For example, Ali Mohammed al-Kurdi says he sent two suicide bombers to Iraq and trained others. He was sentenced to death for his part in a hotel bombing in Yemen's port city of Aden, escaped and was rearrested.
Fawzi al-Wajeh, a bodyguard of Osama bin Laden's, was convicted in the 2002 bombing of a French oil tanker and was one of 23 al-Qaeda members to escape from a Yemeni high-security prison last year. He later surrendered.
Naseer Ahmed al-Bahri, also a bin Laden bodyguard, fought in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Somalia. He was jailed for nearly two years without charges after returning from Afghanistan.
All three continue to idolize bin Laden, and they back jihad, or holy war, against U.S. forces, whether it's in the Middle East or Afghanistan. Yet they are back on the streets because they signed an agreement with Yemen's government promising to obey the law.
