BREAKING: Marine Jailed in Mexico is Getting Released

Huge news out of Washington, D.C.! Lawmakers from the House Foreign Affairs Committee made an announcement about Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, the Marine who has been wrongly held in a filthy Mexican prison for 7 months and is already suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Apparently, he will be released!
andrew-tahmooressiAs first reported by The Blaze, Andrew – thanks to the hard work of Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) and the conversations he had with Mexican government officials – will receive “humanitarian release” soon.
As Royce announced:
Last week I had a good and productive conversation with the Mexican Attorney General and am confident that a humanitarian release of Andrew will occur very soon so he can start getting better.
In addition, conservative champion Rep. Matt Salmon, (R-AZ) said that the Attorney General of Mexico told lawmakers that if they’re able to submit proof that Tahmooressi has PTSD, then they would release him from prison. He added that they had just sent Tahmooressi’s medical file and expert testimony to Mexican authorities, and now we wait for his release due to his serious medical conditions.
His detention has also led to some frustrations with the Obama administration, which many say has not done enough to press Mexico on Tahmooressi’s release.
“I am mystified that President Obama couldn’t find time, between negotiating with terrorists, to call our ally, the Mexican president, to appeal to him on behalf of our Marine,” Salmon said at [the most recent hearing about Tahmooressi].
“The fact is that Mexican citizens violate U.S. law on a regular and continuing basis, illegally crossing our southern border,” Salmon added. “Mexican officials respond by asking the U.S. for compassion and amnesty for their citizens to remain in the U.S. But frankly, compassion goes both ways.”
Here is a picture of Rep. Royce visiting Andrew earlier this Summer:

President Obama could have released our Marine months ago with a simple phone call, but has refused to do so. Thanks to these conservatives in the House, Andrew will finally return to his family.

Former World's Sexiest Man Alive title holder Bradley looked in good shape in his combat uniform, though its brown and green camouflage design hardly made him blend in with his surroundings.
And the look certainly had an effect on the 39-year-old's much younger other half, as she could not keep her hands off him.
Suki, 22, was looking reasonably good herself in an ensemble of hooded top, multicoloured blouse, hotpants and brown suede boots.

Earlier it seemed that when the going gets tough, the tough throw on a pair of short shorts.
But Bradley would have been no doubt praying he did not have to drop down and give anyone 20 when filming kicked off again.
There was no way the ageing star's pants would have taken the strain as they were so tight it seemed like even bending over could lead to an humiliating wardrobe malfunction.

Getting into character to play America's deadliest sniper, Chris Kyle, the star was dressed in his eye-wateringly tight khakis, white T-shirt and combat boots to shoot a Navy SEAL training scene.
As if the shorts were not uncomfortable enough, as part of the scene Bradley had to do scissor kicks with his fellow sailors.
And clearly his kicks were not up to scratch, with the actor doused in water by another Navy SEAL for not getting the exercise right.
Don't look Clint: Bradley Cooper wore very short shorts on the set of American Sniper, directed by Eastwood, in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday

While the scene required Bradley to keep going through the hose down, as soon as it was over he sat up and looked exhausted.
Obviously no wanting to do the scene over and over again, the Hangover star checked in with his director Clint Eastwood.
Making more apparent just how short the star's shorts were, the 84-year-old wore long baggy pants on set.

Bradley was almost unrecognisable, not because of his pant choice, but because the he has been working out round the clock to gain a staggering 40 pounds of muscle, though it appears he has added on extra blubber too.
His co-star Eric Close, told E! that the two-time Oscar nominee is completely dedicated to the role.
The actor said: '[Bradley] put on like 40 pounds. He's really been working hard. He looks great. He's really taken on this character…He really takes this story personally and wants to do an honorable job for Chris' memory and for his family.'

Chris claimed he had 160 confirmed kills in his autobiography and has since become known as America's deadliest sniper.
Kyle himself came to a early end in 2013 when, aged 38, he and friend Chad Littlefield, were allegedly shot at a shooting range in Erath County, Texas, by 25-year-old fellow veteran Eddie Ray Routh.
Eddie remains in jail pending further DNA testing required for death penalty cases.
The film retelling of Chris' life is due in theatres next year and also stars Sienna Miller as Chris wife, Taya.
