Speaker Pelosi, please rectify this travesty of justice

Our heartache deepened as yet another US Congressional delegation flew to Amman, Jordan, this weekend to meet with and praise the terror-abetting King Abdullah II ["19-Oct-19: House Speaker Pelosi led an official visit today to the chief protector of our child's killer"]

Notwithstanding the demands of the impeachment inquiries, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi found the time to present the Jordanian dictator with the same adulation she lavished on him in March 2019 and then again in April 2019 in Washington DC.

US leaders on both sides of the aisle persist in ignoring the fact that the object of their friendship steadfastly rejects the US Department of Justice's demand for the extradition of mass murderer, Ahlam Tamimi.

The blood of our daughter, Malki, a US citizen, and of the other 15 victims of Tamimi's terror bombing - of whom two more were Americans - cries out for justice.

The Jordan Times ["King meets with US Congress delegation"] reported Saturday night that yesterday's meeting

"also covered regional and international efforts to counter terrorism within a comprehensive approach. For their part, the US lawmakers commended Jordan’s efforts, led by His Majesty, in pursuit of peace and stability in the region, praising the King’s wisdom."

US media have remained mum about the encounter.

However we can probably trust the accuracy of the Jordanian report given that Ms. Pelosi is on record as stating at their March 2019 meeting:

"It is really a great honor, officially, personally, in every way, to welcome back to the Capitol His Majesty, King Abdullah II. With his leadership, America has a true partner: a partner for peace, a partner for progress."

And she is again on record as telling the King in April 2019:

"I had the privilege as my first act as Speaker - on my first invitation - to extend to a Head of State, to extend to His Majesty to be the first person to address a joint session of Congress when I became Speaker. So I think that says to you how important the relationship between our two countries is - between Jordan and the United States - how important the friendship is - that Members of Congress feel toward His Majesty - and how much we value his words of wisdom."

Is that any way to address a man who welcomed a confessed terrorist murderer with open arms and has, since 2011, given her a platform on TV and social media to incite millions of fans to commit fresh murders?

Instead of flattering him, Ms. Pelosi, use your clout to insist he abide by the extradition treaty his father signed and ratified in 1995.

Tamimi has evaded the rule of law for long enough. You, as a lawmaker, can rectify this travesty of justice.
