Pakistan Frees Top Terror Leader

Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of two organisations listed as terror groups by the U.S.. has been freed from house arrest by a Pakistani court.

Saeed is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terrorist group alleged by Indian authorities to have carried out the Mumbai bombings. He was placed under house arrest shortly after the Mumbai attacks as a sop to international opinion but is now free again. He supposedly quit the LeK in 2001 but promptly set up a charity, Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which was branded a terrorist organisation by the United States in April on grounds of ties to the LeK. He has been living hassle-free in Pakistan for many years and now will continue to do so.

And you know what the White House will have to say about it?

Absolutely nothing.
