Glenn Beck's big Monday reveal is about the wrong person - Examiner.com

On April 19th, Glenn Beck accused the United States government of conducting a widespread coverup regarding Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a Saudi national who was injured during the Boston Marathon bombing, and promised that, on Monday, he would reveal information he had allegedly obtained that revealed Alharbi "was a very bad, bad, bad man," which he threatened to reveal on Monday unless the government came clean first.

Beck has since made good on his promise and claimed that the NTC issued an event file calling for Alharbi's deportation using section 212, 3B which is proven terrorist activity.

"We are not sure who actually tagged him as a '212 3B,' but we know it is very difficult to charge someone with this '� it has to be almost certain," said Beck. "It is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty '� it is not thrown around lightly."

Except, of course, by hardline conservative media personalities like Glenn Beck. They throw those allegations around left and right.

There's just one problem: Alharbi and the Saudi national who was called for deportation are two different people.

Representative Jeff Duncan (R-SC), whom The Blaze credited as possessing the original event file, already asked the DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano, about the Saudi national during a hearing last Thursday. Napolitano stated that she was "unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston."

According to DHS officials, the other individual is already in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

Furthermore, the other Saudi national was only reported to have been detained for being in violation of his visa, with no mention of 212 3B given at all. According to DHS officials, his case and the Boston Marathon are unrelated.

This is not some new revelation. It was information that was all freely available to Beck, even before he made his threat to reveal information about Alharbi.

Glenn Beck's big reveal was, once again, a big fat lie.
