President Obama and the US Secretary of State fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming Abdelbaset Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland – but a senior Whitehall aide said their reaction was ‘disingenuous’.
British officials claim Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were kept informed at all stages of discussions concerning Megrahi’s return.
The officials say the Americans spoke out because they were taken aback by the row over Megrahi’s release, not because they did not know it was about to happen.
‘The US was kept fully in touch about everything that was going on with regard to Britain’s discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi,’ said the Whitehall aide.
‘We would never do anything about Lockerbie without discussing it with the US. It is disingenuous of them to act as though Megrahi’s return was out of the blue.

Fact:
Half of every graduation class, graduates at the bottom. These people go into government.
When governments are small - it matters little, when government enlarges itself - it becomes the horror our founding fathers warned us about.

Absolutely, not! He probably convinced Brown to free Megrahi and apologize to dictator Ghadafi on behalf of the USA...

I always thought that if Obama objected at all, it was with a wink-wink and a snicker. This proves it.

Let me be the first to say that this prisoner release would not have happened if Bush and Cheney were in office. Imagine if Brown tried to pull this stunt during the Bush Admin. Cheney would have had Brown for breakfast and Brown would have thanked him kindly for the breakfast invitation.
Weakness and capitulation, the hallmarks of the Obama Admin.
