This is a interesting development. If it was Bush they (MSM) would have nailed him to the cross. On the other hand, with Barry, it's a different story. Think about this. Four dead Americans, and as far as I can tell, not one person is in American custody for this atrocity. Does anyone detect a complete lack of interest in getting to the bottom of this? The reason is Barry doesn't want anyone brought to justice in this case. Why? Because it will only collaborate and verify what FOX and others have been saying all along. This was botched from the word go, had absolutley nothing to do with a YouTube video, and nobody, and I mean nobody, payed a price. These men were simply abandoned, left to die, and their bodies swept under the rug like yesterdays dirt.
Blow to Obama as terror suspect linked to Benghazi consulate attack is freed
A Tunisian man questioned by the F.B.I about the murderous attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has been released by a Tunisian judge due to lack of evidence, according to his lawyer.
Ali Harzi, 26, was one of the few known suspects in custody the case, which has been beset by problems stemming from the weakness of the Libyan government and the power of militias in the country - some of whom may have even been involved in the attack.
Christopher Stevens, who died in the September 11 attack, was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979. Sean Smith, another diplomat, and Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both C.I.A. contractors and former U.S. Navy SEALs, were also killed.
Justice: U.S ambassador Stevens and 4 others was killed in the attack on the consulate in Benghazi and four months on, none of his murderers have been charged.

| Stalled: The investigation in Libya itself has been slow due to the weak central government in the face of the powerful militias, some of whom may have been involved in the attack. |
Anwar Oued-Ali, Harzi's lawyer, said that the presiding judge had 'conditionally freed' his client on Monday night on the understanding that he would remain in the Tunis area in case the court needed to recall him.
The lawyer described the release as 'correcting an irregular situation' because the Tunisian authorities lacked hard evidence.
Harzi was detained in Turkey and in October he was extradited to Tunisia, where authorities had said he was 'strongly suspected' of being involved in the attack.
His lawyer said he was officially charged with 'membership of a terrorist organisation' - a charge that left him facing six to 12 years in jail.

| Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attend the transfer of remains for one of the four Americans killed in the attack. That's all they were good for. |
Both Obama and Clinton have faced criticism for the lack of security that led to the attack and the handling of the investigation
Last month, FBI officers questioned Harzi for three hours in the presence of a Tunisian judge.
The FBI has not commented on the results of the questioning, but Harzi's lawyer said they just asked if his client had any information about the attacks on the Benghazi consulate as well as the assault on the U.S. embassy in Tunis three days later.
U.S. intelligence has blamed the Benghazi attack on terrorists linked to al-Qaeda - members of different groups ranging from local Libyan militia Ansar al-Shariah and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
The consulate's cameras captured many of the faces of armed men in a mob, and some have been questioned, but most remain free.
You ever wonder why that is?

| Burnt out: Authorities in the region have not yet arrested many of the suspects the U.S. wants to question about the attack. |
In a recent TV interview, Harzi's father, Tahar, said his son was just working in Libya in construction supporting his family.
Eight years ago, Ali harzi and his brother Brahim were sentenced to 30 months in prison for having contact with another brother, Tarek, who fought against US and allied forces in Iraq.
The father acknowledged that he had encouraged his sons to take up 'jihad in the cause of God'.
As well as Harzi, American officials said in December that Egypt had also arrested a member of the Islamic Jihad group in connection with the Benghazi attack.
I guess it's to much of a bother for us to interrogate the guy. They probably sent him home with a new Koran personally signed by Barry.
