White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber

The Australian ^ | July 26, 2010 | Jason Allardyce and Tony Allen

[cycle of discernment]

THE US government secretly advised Scottish ministers it would be "far preferable" to free the Lockerbie bomber than jail him in Libya.

Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.

“Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.”

There is PROOF! The correspondence needs to be released.

[My Favorite Headache]

That son of a bitch did it again.

[Shady]

That is it. We MUST get all of the Lockerbie Survivor Families and all of the survivor families of 9/11/01 at the Capitol and DEMAND impeachment, if this is, in fact, the case.

Speaking of the correspondence, from '09....

Release the Scottish Lockerbie Letters!

[GlockThe Vote]

Great post. The gop needs to be disbanded.

The administration can’t go any lower.

I'd be willing to bet that they can (and will).

[FReepaholic]

What, no bow?

[libh8er]

Glenn.. you have your lead story for tomorrow’s show.

[TigersEye]

Is 0baMao pro-terrorist pro-Big Oil or both?

From '09 with more on what took place in '07....

Released Documents Show Reality of Al Megrahi Negotiations

Makes me wonder what 43's admin thought of this and what the Bush admin communicated to the Brits...

[libh8er]

HELLry leak?

Very possible. I think we are seeing the repolarization of the 'Rat party along lines seen during the '08 primaries.

When I was stationed in Danang [1967-68], the Stone Elephant was the O-Club and the White Elephant housed the NSA Danang Headquarters Compound. I worked about four months in the White Elephant compound.

[SmartInsight]

“The document, acquired by a well-placed US source, threatens to undermine US President Barack Obama’s claim last week that all Americans were “surprised, disappointed and angry” to learn of Megrahi’s release.”

This should be grounds for impeachment.

Get a life. We have a breaking, damning story of the Obama regime and you are attacking the GOP. The focus should be on Obama, not the GOP.

[libh8er]

and this time I think they are much more prepared

And this time they will be ruthless. Clinton wants Obama's head on a platter so he can blow cigar smoke on it: "go get my coffee, bwoy !" And Obama won't have the first-black-guy armor around him.

I'd forgotten abou this. Took place while 43 was still in office. For some reason the paper doesn't display the date of the article...

Mandela calls for Lockerbie bomber appeal

I wonder if 43's admin ever talked to Mandela about al-Megrahi...

You've been here long enough to recognize sarcasm without remedial help...or not.
