Topic: Omar Abdel Rahman

The hosts discuss a Chinese reality show featuring death row inmates, fulfilling a prediction about the "execution factor" in television. In Egypt, they predict the release of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman on humanitarian grounds as part of a complex negotiation involving IMF loans and the release of American detainees.

Rumors of a diplomatic deal to release Omar Abdel-Rahman, known as the "Blind Sheik," to Egypt are discussed. Egyptian President Morsi has reportedly called for the release of the cleric, who was convicted in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The hosts jokingly note that at age 74, the Sheik is nearly old enough to pass through TSA screening without taking off his shoes.
