Did Obama Know About Release of Terrorist?
The Tusk ^ | 09/08/09 | R Hargraves

Our readers, being the very informed and responsble citizens that they are, are well aware of the release of one Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, "the only individual convicted in connection with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988. The event which killed 270 people, including all those on board, is now one of the most spoken of terrorist events in recent memory.

On August 20, the British government released him on "compassionate grounds." Megrahi has terminal prostate cancer. Boo-hoo.

The release of convicted terrorist Megrahi led the White House to issue a statement expressing "deep regret" for his release, explaining that it "expressed repeatedly to officials of the Government of the United Kingdom and to Scottish authorities, we continue to believe that Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland." After crowds in his home country (predictably) greeted him as a national hero, the White House pretended to be surprised calling the reaction of Libyan citizens "outrageous and disgusting."

Of course he did. Will he or anyone in his administration admit to such? No.

Then why ask if Obama knew? Unless the Brits are lying.

Rumor has it that Obama and Hillery were both advised by the Brits that this terrorist would be released, and both concurred. When Brown was informed that Obama had denied any knowledge of the release, he threw a fit.
I tried to verify the story but had no success.

What did he know and when did he know it?

Barry was taking care of one of his muslim brothers - got him out for ramadan.
