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.

I saw the story linked on Facebook and then shared it on my page. I was worried the US press would ignore it, until I saw Drudge run the story. That means it will get some traction on Fox News and talk radio. The MSM will try to bury the story, but it’s too big for them to contain, especially with the BP angle.
BBC: Alex Salmond (Scottish first minister) calls for release of Lockerbie files
The Independent Party needs to side with the R’s for 2010 -2012 or else we will for sure have another 4 yrs of this Muslim in our WH!
This needs a major investigation ASAP. Everything, from the BP donations to obama - to the rig explosion - and now this. Something really stinks here.
Agree, why do we have to get important news like this from the UK papers?
Wish everyone would stop buying the drivel they print here and just buy the UK papers to help them stay in business.
Buy American in every way except newspapers.
I agree. Especially since they've already been highly critical of BP about this. Can they just go silent all of a sudden?? Not really -- but we'll watch them try.
Excuse me, this one is AU the one I read first was UK.
Are we paying this guy’s rent and utilities? How about his spending money? Isn’t that a good place for stimulus $$?
We will not be silenced. I just facebooked the story. Did obama conspire with BP to get out of the Gulf and into Libya? Sorry, but my tinfoil hat is on in this one.
Color me so surprised! /s
What a crock.

And many of the above links have more links.
FYI
Obama’s defense will be George Bush would have backed his release too.
I’m thinking the release of this information is a shot across the bow aimed at Hillary.
Hillary is running going to run for President in 2014. The only way she can win is to take out Obama without hurting the Dems or the State Dept. in the process. Obama and his lackeys know this and it looks like they’ve playing a bit of offense. The Clinton’s have been calling in favors with their media pals and have been able to hit Obama pretty well recently -
The Clinton camp strongly came out against the Journolist report and coordination with the reporters to get Obama elected.
Clinton’s friends at the Globe running Obama birth certificate stories, two in the last couple of months.
Bill is reportedly going to campaign events and slamming Obama’s policies - notice how he’s also stopped with high profile jobs for the administration?
Reports are also now running showing Hillary actually won the Dem. caucus and only through fraud/cheating was Obama able to win.
If there is an outcry over this (and there damn well should be) the WH will say that the decision was made by the State Department throwing it all on Hillary. They won’t realize, or just don’t care that many will look at this as another failure of the administration, Obama specifically, where once again he’s proven to support terrorists against American interests.
For all the talk about a war within the GOP, the real battle is with the Dems as the Clinton Machine takes on Obama’s (and this time I think they are much more prepared). Get your popcorn ready, it’s gonna be good!!!
I agree. Remember...the leftists always accuse the right of what they themselves are actually doing or have thought about doing.
Perhaps they do this on purpose so that when they get caught red handed doing the real dirty deeds, folks will just think it’s ‘wacky conspiracy theories’ like the 911 truthers..Bush/Haliburton...blahblahblah.
I wonder how the Syracuse, NY media is going to react to this?
Looks like talks started in 2007.
2009 and the deal is done.
Only thing that's changed is the guy in the WH.
