WASHINGTON, D.C. — A U.S. Senate committee has canceled a much-publicized hearing slated for this Thursday on the release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber after the panel was turned down in its request for key witnesses from BP and the British and Scottish governments.

An aide to Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who was slated to chair the hearing, informed

I cannot imagine an opportunity for Chuck Schumer to pass up face time on C Span other than it is politically inconvenient.The real reason it was probably cancelled is the the Democrats were backed into a corner with a shot over the bow by the Scottish government that they would be pleased to release the 2 e mails that the US government had requested they not release in which the administration stated that they were opposed to his release but if he was released they preferred he be released in Scotland and not transferred to Libya.The Scottish Justice minister intimated that it appeared to them that the administration's objections to his release were "half hearted".This is the last thing the Democrats needed to have to explain away before a Congressional election

[La Lydia]

And another triumph for Bob Menendez.

[Sacajaweau]

Don't forget...the object of this investigation was to step a little harder on the throat of Bp...

I expect the moratorium to be totally lifted next week in an attempt to regain the Florida vote. You don't think all those fishermen and seashore business owners are really in love with Obama's decisions do you??

[Tzimisce]

Wow - what a coincidence. :)

[taillightchaser]

Once again the whores cover up the truth to protect their slimy asses.

[Doogle]

....guess when they asked the Brits to produce the witness they said sure, just as long as Odumbo testifies about the messages sent in support of his release.........
Oops...never mind (in my best Gilda voice)

[cripplecreek]

What a bunch of cowards.

[Bryan24]

Barak Obama is a weasel. At the leat bit of anticipated heat, he folds like a cheap suit and lets others take the blame.

He is so narcissistic that he can’t even allow himself to be questioned that he was wrong or made a mistake. So he blames others.

He makes me want to puke.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Fricken’, worthless, treasonous clowns.

...after the panel was turned down in its request for key witnesses from BP and the British and Scottish governments.

So subpoena Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder.

Scottish Parliament Justice Committee Tuesday 1 December 2009

Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder are both mentioned in the above testimony.

Note to the 'Rats: Why are you refusing to call them...?

[mewzilla]

From Michelle Malkin, circa 2008.....

20 years: The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103

And the comments that follow are also worth the read.

[mewzilla]

Another reason to hope that the Pubbies will regain control of both houses in November: To see that a thorough investigation of the Lockerbie deal is done.

[NonValueAdded]

I guess they realized that the collateral damage would fall on the One.

[Diogenesis]

"Oh, how we enjoy watching the boot of Obama and his DNC Congress
on the bleeding, gasping neck of the dying, little American people. "

[mewzilla]

Same story, different source, same spin...

Lockerbie Hearing Postponed Over BP CEO, Scottish Official

So investigate what the Obama admin knew and did.

[patriot preacher]

THIS IS DISGUSTING.

[drypowder]

Regarding this subject and our elected officials, Obozo must be neck deep in turning the Lockerbie bomber loose. This is true to form for this bunch, they huff and puff and then quit on the things that favor the well being of this country. All the more reason to throw them out. Remember in November!!

[mewzilla]

BTTT.
