WASHINGTON - "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."

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."

Obama knew...Holder knew...Clinton knew...they knew and they are hiding the truth from the American people...

Had anyone made a public denunciation of the action before the Brits and Scots committed it would have been nipped in the bud. I am sure they approved or at least gave tacit approval with a caution that if the thing goes pear shaped the administration would slither away from it.

I don’t for a second believe Holder was issuing a warning. He was bragging that this terrorist was going to receive a heroe’s welcome.

“slither” is appropriate for these “snakes”...

I don't know which is worse...the betrayal by Obama or by Scotland...I know Obama's is more dangerous...I guess our "standing in the world" hasn't improved even after Zero's ass-kissing world tour and his on-going attcks on our own intelligence and defense agencies...this is really so bad on so may different levels, it's hard to know which way to turn...except to DC on the 12th...God bless us all...

Holder could not even PRETEND to object. He has zero credibility and no moral authority to object, even if he wanted to. He himself is releasing Muslim terrorists right and left while he hounds, bankrupts, and attempts to imprison the brave Americans who captured them. A vile, low, disloyal bastard.

Despicable! The idea that all of these high level “politicians” knew about this and did not stop it is disgusting! All of America should be disgusted and ashamed! Just who do we have in charge these days!

I hope that this ripples up and grabs them all for their stupidity if nothing else...

only Fox will carry this; the other networks will never turn on their master. And, they will continue to marginalize the viewers of Fox as being ignorant and extremists. What’s sad is that eventually those same media folks will be treated the same way, because this kind of snowball just gets bigger.

First us, then them, then everyone who stands in the way of their march to marxism/socialism/communism...

The release of this islamist terrorist was a Ramadan gift from Hussein Obowma to Qadaffi, so Gordon Brown can give BP an oil concession in Libya. Facts are facts.

roger that. It was all worked out behind the scenes and they all agreed to act dumb. For some of them acting dumb was not such a big stretch...
