The Corner

Fathi El-Jahmi

In Prague, Bush also promised Mohamed El-Jahmi to look into the case of his brother, Fathi El-Jahmi. What is unsettling though, and shows the nature of Bush’s State Department and National Security Council team is that the President appeared unaware of the rearrest and splitary confinement of a man whose (temporary) release from prison he had cited in 2004 as evidence that Qadhafi had changed. Again, it will be interesting to see whether Hadley and Negroponte follow up.
