If he is kept under armed guard and constant supervision, what could be the harm of letting him out of prison for a few hours to see his father? I understand why Obama doesn’t want to grant him a pardon or release him from prison but such a short compassionate leave would be appropriate.
Too bad on him, sadly.
The elections are too far away.
if he wouldnt be jewish they would for sure let him, but since he is jewish………..
They let the terrorist of the Lockerbie Bomber out on “compassionate release” but not a Jew who saved lives instead of destroying them…
May his father have a refua shleima.
