BP's role in the release of the Lockerbie bomber from a Scottish prison is being questioned in a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who is requesting an investigation into the oil company's success in securing a drilling contract in Libya.

I question the crooked New jersey courts that let that POS step into the Senate race at a point after the law allowed.
Where the hell was the outrage by the administration or congress prior to his release? I am so tired of these idiots not confronting potential problems in advance. Trying to make themselves look big and important at this point in time only makes them look more incompetent and inept. Get rid of these morons before we really reach a point we can’t recover from.
they gotta keep something in their pocket to impress the folks with a 5 minute memory
I question the connection between BP and Obama for President ‘08
Good grief. Is Lautenberg still around and alive? How old is he anyway?
“I question the connection between BP and Obama for President ‘08”
Bingo!
“I question the connection between BP and Obama for President ‘08”
Bingo!
Oh, you bethca.
And not just BP. For some additional info...

I know the Brits are refusing to co-operate.
So what don't the 'Rats just haul in Holder and Clinton?

What's the Obama adminstrations say...?
No legal obstacles to releasing Lockerbie bomber: letters
The letters, published on British and Scottish government websites, also indicate diplomats explained that the United Kingdom never made a binding promise to the United States to keep al-Megrahi jailed in Scotland.
The info in that paragraph alone opens up one mother of a can of worms...
And I'll bet those 4 'Rat senators who claim to be investigating just threw away their can opener.
Scottish Parliament Wednesday 2 September 2009 [THE PRESIDING OFFICER opened the meeting at 09:30]
Kenny MacAskill:
No, it was not the case that it was automatically ruled out. It was possible for it to be homologated and for the appeal to be dropped. As Mr Baker is now aware, a note was lodged by the Libyan Government that indicated that it would be prepared to drop matters. Indeed, I received representations from Mr al-Megrahi's lawyers that their interpretation of how the situation could be dealt with was different. However, our view was that the application was properly submitted. The criteria would have to be met, but I was duty bound to consider the application.
I received numerous letters and representations, and I recognised that a decision on transfer would be of personal significance to those whose lives had been affected. On 27 May, I received advice from my officials that proposed a process that would allow representations to be taken into consideration in a fair and appropriate fashion. Accordingly, I met groups and individuals with a relevant interest.
I spoke to the United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, on 26 June. On 1 July, I met the families of victims from the United Kingdom; on 6 July, I met a lady from Spain whose sister was a member of the cabin crew; and on 9 July, I held a videoconference with families from the United States. In addition, on 23 July, I spoke with a family whose relatives died in Lockerbie. With the agreement of the families, I have published the notes of those meetings.
Congress probably can't get its mitts on MacAskill, but Holder's not a problem, is he...?

Captialism works. BP is about profits, not right and wrong. That’s what they keep telling us anyway.
