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.

Now, WHY would they prefer this terrorist be released vs imprisoned in a Libyan prison?

Had it been a prisoner transfer, then Libya would have released him. The international hubbub that would have ensued would have made it impossible for the BP/Libya deal to go through.

BUT, by letting the Scots hide behind compassion, (and now ignorance of the bomber's TRUE condition) the WH achieved what it (and BP) wanted....the payment TO BP for its contributions to Zer0.

I Red Media is NOTHING but the “High Tech” modern version of McCarthyism.

Truth and facts are irrelevant, only shaping people to come to their dogmatic belief is the priority now.

0bama and Clinton both side with the murderer of 250 innocent American civilians instead of demanding that justice be served.

I would like to hear from the families of the dead and see what they think of a Government that cares more about compassion for that wretched human being instead of standing up and doing his job as the leader of his own.

Reagan would have had the killers plane intercepted and had this terrorists butt in an American jail cell before he EVER laid eyes upon his home in Libya.

So 0bama grants him a 1st class ticket back home?

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

He is anti-America and anti-American which means he is against anything that America has or needs to be successful. And speaking of leaked documents, since it may cost more American lives, I feel certain that Obama was behind that leaking of documents that have showed up on WikiLeak re: the Afghanistan war. I'm betting that Zero cackles like a little girl in private...about all the things he has done, is doing and is planning on doing to America. We can't even really call him a traitor because his allegiance lies elsewhere in the first place. We have a bona fide enemy in the White House. And he's just gettin started (his own words).

That's right. I don't think I can consider him stupid either. How many people would think of something this far outside the box to make the U.S. a laughing stock?

That's creative. That is attention to detail. No stone unturned.

This story vanished. It was headlined on Drudge - now gone. This is a re-post on FR - noting new. One day on Fox, now gone. One day on The Guardian. Nothing on any other news media.

This could/should be a big story. Why did it disappear?

What is this “Lock him up in Libya” crap? Since when do ministers in Scotland determine what happens in Libya’s penal system?

I certainly would not try to rebut your statement. Obi from Nairobi close ties to so many that most real Americans look down in disgust at exceeds Carter’s little pills.

Who knows what else he is misleading on. He lies so easily, It is hard to tell what is true anymore.

They are aggressively trying to deceive, as they diminish our freedoms and wealth.

Is this what Obama supporters really wanted? Terrorists running loose?

I’m guessing most Obama supporters would say “no”.

How much money greased the skids at the Outhouse to free this killer of innocents?

Just more proof that liberals in power only judge conservatives, Christians, real Jews and those without the money to buy them off.
