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.

“disingenuous”? How about some “straight talk”? THEY LIED.
“Cheney would have had Brown for breakfast and Brown would have thanked him kindly for the breakfast invitation.”
I MISS MR. CHENEY!!!!
“White folks are TIRED of it. They gonna RISE UP! And I’m gonna JOIN ‘em ... If they’ll let me ... Long-legged Mack Daddy!”
He’s too funny.
I was more surprised...and DOUBTFUL...when the administration spoke out against this release....I wasn’t buying it for a minute...
So...the truth comes out...and where’s the BREAKING NEWS?
No worries...I’m sure Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, and others will be discussing this at great length in the next day or so...
Transparency my @$$!!!
Does the last line in the excerpt basically tell us that the US authorized it..because if they had said No, the UK would have not done it????
“where’s the BREAKING NEWS?”
See, that’s why we need to give [minus]Zero the absolute control of the Internet!!
“How is this not really, really big news”
It’s a riddle! Let me think..
When there is no free means of mass dissemination?
That funny, I haven’t seen something like this on CNN.
He’s a little outrageous - but I’d rather be in Rev Manning’s pews than Rev J Wright.

you have denigrated the good name of scum everywhere.
Yes, absolutely. Note that this discussion has been going on for some time. Did the Brits say “in recent years” regarding discussions with the WH? Also note that Bush and Cheney didn’t allow it to happen. If the Brits brought it up with the Bush WH, Cheney put the ixnay on it.
Got that right Buck, and if we allow it to continue, he will destroy this nation. NOT SO FAST, BAMBI!
Lock-n-Load...chi, chink.
Will be interesting to hear Darth Cheney’s take on this.

Wait till it comes out that Hussein actually AGREED to it & PUSHED for it. The Brits are holding back, me thinks.
“He’s a little outrageous - but I’d rather be in Rev Manning’s pews than Rev J Wright.”
Nicely put! He is a bit outrageous, but he’s very funny, unlike the Zero’s Wright. Wright is consumed by resentment!
Thanks for the collection!!
hillary is a non-issue. She clearly is clueless on everything and contributing nothing. The TOTUS-reader's handlers got that one completely right.
But ayers and soros and obama are certainly doing that dance.
Yes, you can bet Levin will tear Bambi & Shrillary new a-holes on Tuesday!
