Democratic Congressman Supporting Islamist Child Murderer

I'd love to say that the headline was misleading or an example of over-the-top yellow journalism, but it's not. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) is sponsoring a bill that would give assylum to a convicted child killer who was part of a 1975 coup aimed at making Bangladesh an "Islamic Republic"--as Pakistan, which it broke from (remember, Bangladesh was then East Pakistan), would later become.

McDermott's private bill declares unequivocally that Mohuiddin A.K.M Ahmed is not guilty of the crime that he was convicted of, an assertion that the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected.

Michelle has the details. I'd say something Sullivenesque like "I'm disgusted" or "heartache", but I'm just passed feeling anything anymore when it comes to the immigration issue.
