So why did the US’s lawyer promise his lawyers this wouldn’t happen if they had no way to guarantee it? And why couldn’t anyone at the State Department at least write a letter expressing any kind of concerns over this to Algeria?

The notion that the US is powerless to do anything to a country we’ve provided with millions of dollars of military aid and investment is naive bullshit. If we so much as raised an eyebrow they’d have let this guy go in a heartbeat, the Biden administration just doesn’t want a “White House helps suspected terrorist get out of prison” headline in an election year, human rights and the reputation of our lawyers be damned.
