BERLIN - German authorities have paroled convicted terrorist Mohammed Ali Hamadi after he served 19 years of a life sentence for the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jetliner and the killing of a U.S. Navy diver, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.

The really screwy thing is that he was arrested in 1987 while trying to board another plane with liquid explosives.

I can't say that this is entirely unexpected, but what chance does anyone have of defeating an enemy if there is such an imbalance of national strategies?

On one side we have a US executive branch advocating doing anything to anyone, and the other we have the Germans letting them go with a promise to be good.
