THE US government secretly advised Scottish ministers it would be "far preferable" to free the Lockerbie bomber than jail him in Libya.We were told the reason for the compassionate release was this slug was only going to live for three more months. Later, after his heroic welcome back to Libya, that he might live 10 years or more. The whole thing was a scam and Obama fell for it.
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.
The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US embassy in London, a week before Megrahi was freed in August last year on grounds that he had terminal cancer.
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.
Scottish ministers viewed the level of US resistance to compassionate release as "half-hearted" and a sign it would be accepted.
The US has tried to keep the letter secret, refusing to give permission to the Scottish authorities to publish it on the grounds it would prevent future "frank and open communications" with other governments.
Don Surber says it best:
Barack Obama never met a terrorist he did not like.

Ah, not so fast! BHO knew about it. The whole story. Now we the people are finally learning the truth. Add this incident to the growing list of incompetence and thuggery being perpetrated on the American people.
Remember in November. Throw the bums out in 2010, 2011, and 2012 to cleanse our nation of this Marxist embarrassment and his willing accomplices.
I second your thoughts, Sunflower!!! This is INSANE.
One teensy thing we need to begin right NOW is teaching our children that money, power, and politics ain't the be-all/end-all of life. Starting !!!
This guys an ENEMY of the U.S.A. and especially those who lost friends, co-workers, and relatives in this airline mass murder by Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. It has become apparant in watching him over the last 18 months of his reign in Washington that whenever you see his lips moving you know he doesn't have the faintest idea of what the truth is.
How about the possibility that this guy got put away to direct attention from the Iranians?
After all, we had just blown-up their Airbus and awarded the commanders medals for their actions.
Do you conservatives just have an inveterate inability to get a story right?
I mean really facts do matter. You guys (conservatives) just don't care. You have your narrative and God be damned if facts get in the way.
Say it after me 'Facts matter'......now breathe........really you still might be able to be rehabilitated from your conservative heroin trip. The origin of this comes from the Guardian.
The Guardian states that the "allowing Megrahi to live at home in Scotland would be "far preferable" to sending him back to Libya under the prisoner transfer deal brokered by former prime minister Tony Blair in 2007." See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jul/25/barack-obama-megrahi-release-lockerbie. Sure enough it would have been because he couldn't have been released.
But after the ACORN non-scandal, the Sherrod media lynching, the birthers, the Obama is a muslim paranois.....nothing surprise me anymore from the crap you guys will willingly buy into hook line and sinker.
Seriously do a little research and think for yourself
Take a pill, aba.
