Attorney General Eric Holder warned his Scottish counterpart in June that the man convicted of blowing US-bound Pan Am Flight 103 out of the sky could get a hero’s welcome if allowed to return to Libya, according to the head of a group representing the families of victims.
Holder’s warning to Scotland’s justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, came nearly two months before the bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, was released from a Scottish prison and greeted by a cheering crowd on his arrival in Libya last week.
Notes prepared ahead of Holder’s June 26 conversation with MacAskill were provided to the Associated Press by Frank Duggan, president of Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 Inc. Duggan said a Justice Department official read him notes that Holder used during the conversation.
Duggan also provided notes of a July 9 teleconference between MacAskill and some victims’ relatives, an emotional exchange in which family members told stories of their loved ones and implored MacAskill not to return Megrahi to Libya.

Are we surprised?
Did O do anyhthing to stop this?
Tick, Tick, Tick bump
Obama knew.
If Holder knew, obama knew.
I remember someone here on FR that asked how long until Øbama threw Holder under the bus for the backlash over the CIA investigations. Could it be starting now?
Makes me wonder if obama didn’t start the whole process.
Expect a small correction to this sentence in the next update: "...a FORMER Justice Department official ..."
How about a warning to Scotland NOT TO RELEASE THE POS TERRORIST, PERIOD!?!
I posted elswhere that a staffer in Jay Rockefeller’s office told me a day after the terrorist’s release that the Senate Intelligence Committee had gotten a heads-up on the release beforehand and had no problem with it.
The staffer also then went on to say “what’s this got to do with the United States of America anyway”.
That is when I lost it and told him most of those on board were Americans!
He hung up on me.
When will this nightmare end? This admins. — I can’t even bear to say the name of the one — is ruin for this country to the core.
How can we survive another 3 years of this disaster?
Holder under the bus ... oh, I do hope so.
The Obama administration could not be more clear about their alegiances.
Here is a clue: it ain’t with the US.
It will be interesting to see what other “Rangels” come out of this.
So it was like this? "I'm warning you he'll get a hero's welcome so how can we tone this down a bit?"
The Victims of Pan Am 103 Group must be livid with all they have gone through.
I knew Obama’s prints was all over this!
Those DVD’s were supposed to butter Brown up!
Didn’t work. ;o)
