carmody- I think the Obama position was do not release him - whether it was weakly related to Scotland or not.
I thought the WH’s first position was, “We didn’t know anything.” Later changed to, “We knew but didn’t strongly oppose.” According to the gentleman being interviewed this morning, the oncologists all agreed the bomber was in no danger of dying in jail.
