I see where you're going and it does seem unfair to the victims that were affected by her actions but the lady is really sick, and it's not like she is going through life unpunished. The knowledge of having cancer knowing you're going to die and can't do nothing about it is perhaps more disturbing than sitting is in a 5x9 cell because of a crime.

I disagree.
Sitting in 5x9 cell, knowing you're going to die from cancer is a very fitting punishment.

It useless to argue with these clowns. Vengeance will ALWAYS trump mercy for them.

I don't agree with this line of logic.....

Sure all of us are due to expire at some point or another and in a lot of cases some meet their eventual demise faster than others. I don't think any of us determines to develop breast cancer or cancer period. If she is dying, I don't think letting her out is going to hurt. If anything, if she contributed to the taking of life her current condition can be said that it is "poetic justice."

Let's say I develop breast cancer (men do sometimes) what extra bonus am I going to get? The reality is, people get cancer who aren't in prison and get nothing special when it happens, why give this person something special? She literally helped kill Americans on a terrorist level... and due to a misplaced priority we'll give her freedom she never earned?

Is it standard practice to release any prisoner diagnosed with terminal cancer, or any terminal disease?

It has nothing to do with vengeance. It has everything to do with her serving out her sentence for her crimes. Plain and simple

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

While its tempting to take the opportunity to end the free ride, has to be no.
Aiding and abetting terrorists under the guise of lawyering really should have gotten her treason and a firing squad.

Guess you guys think wiretapping and hidden cameras are okay in this instance.
 
“Current compassionate release guidelines are failing to identify seriously ill prisoners who no longer pose a threat to society, placing huge financial burdens on state budgets and contributing to the national crisis of prison overcrowding,” says lead author Brie Williams, MD, a UCSF assistant professor of medicine in the division of geriatrics.

The authors call for the development of standardized national guidelines by an independent advisory panel of palliative medicine, geriatrics and correctional healthcare experts. The new guidelines would require a fast-track option to evaluate rapidly dying prisoners and an advocate to help the prisoner navigate the application process.

With an aging inmate population, overcrowded prisons and soaring criminal justice medical costs, many policy experts have been calling for broader use of compassionate release.

Inmates are eligible if they have a clinically diagnosed life-limiting illness and if it is legally justifiable to release them into society.

Compassionate release has been in effect in the United States since 1984, and all but five states grant some form of early release to eligible dying prisoners. The number of applications annually for compassionate release is unknown because many prisoners die during the laborious review process which can take months -- even years. Only a small number of inmates are granted the special discharge: in 2008, for example, there were 27 such releases from federal prisons compared to 399 deaths.
