Tahmooressi let go

[Sangersteve]

A Mexican judge has freed jailed US Marine Andrew Tahmooressi, his family said late Friday.

Tahmooressi, 26, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has been held since March 31, when he said he mistakenly crossed into Mexico with three legally-purchased and registered guns in his truck.

Why did it take so long, Obama?
And was it mentioned on the mainstream media? I heard nothing on the radio. But I sure did hear about that nurse's dog.

We should have sent in special forces months ago to liberate him and bring him back from whatever jail or prison he was being held at..killing anyone and everyone that offered resistance.

Really?

Obama should have said "You have 1 hour to let him go, or I'll find a new source for my dope."

big surprise:
when is ZERO having a news item telling how he negotiated the release?

While he was being held, four Mexican cops crossed into the U. S. below El Paso and shot another Mexican. All five were taken into custody and immediately returned to Mexico. An armed Mexican Army unit of six men was apprehended after crossing the border in the desert east of Yuma and they were also immediately and without publicity returned to Mexico.

I haven't been aware of the case and I'm glad they let him go.
One question- How can someone "mistakenly cross into Mexico"?

I have a friend familiar with the area. He said on some roads (obviously near the border) once you go beyond a certain point, there are no turn-arounds or exits, until after you cross the border.
