U.S. is being denied direct access to Benghazi suspect held in Egypt
The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions.
Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train.
Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead. But this is at least the second time U.S. interrogators have been denied access to a suspect held by a foreign government.

It’s time to teach the radical islamics running Egypt a lesson. Let’s send them more F-16s and tanks, and even more in foreign aid. That’ll teach them a lesson!

May we talk with the suspect – pretty please, with sugar on top?

Hey..you know that $2b would be a dent on that $85b “sequester”

Dear Liar would get tough with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood if he actually wanted to get to the bottom of the Benghazi attack. But as it would point directly back at his administration he doesn’t. Instead, demonize Republicans some more.

I bet they’d be happy to trade said suspect for someone they consider valuable. Why don’t we…acquire…a suitable candidate and ask them?

We don’t need to acquire a suitable candidate. We’ve already got who they have in mind in custody. The blind sheik.

As far as I know, the U.S. is being denied direct access to the survivors, too. Not Egypt’s doing there.

It is important to get individuals names you see. That way you can avoid the Muslim masses and Islam all together. Just a handful of dudes named Mohammed will create a teeny tiny fringe that can be scowled at and pursued while Islam goes about its business unobstructed.
It is the sure method to keep pretending and losing.

When does he star his F-16 training?

I’m sure Egypt is doing this at Obama’s request. The last thing Barky wants is the truth on Bengazi coming out.
