Compassionate Release For Lockerbie Bomber

[financeguy]

The Flight 103 bombing was fishy from day one.

Whether Megrahi was even involved is not something I would stake money on.

Now the story is Obama supported Megrahi's release.

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.

If President Obama wanted another nice little bump in the polls might I suggest a
"compassionate" smartbomb squarely on this cat's house. An "accident" of course.

Heh. I forgot that guy was back in Libya. I wonder where he's ended up in all of this.

BBC News - Hague 'outrage' at Lockerbie bomber's TV appearance

Foreign Secretary William Hague has said a TV appearance by the Lockerbie bomber will intensify the "anger and outrage" at his release from jail.

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was at a rally broadcast by Libyan state television.

Mr Hague said it was "a further reminder that a great mistake was made" when he was freed by the Scottish government nearly two years ago.

Scottish Labour leader Iain Gray said: "The sight of Megrahi, the single man convicted of the worst terrorist atrocity ever committed on Scottish soil, acting as a cheerleader for a dictator indicted for war crimes has turned the stomach of our nation and continues to be a massive embarrassment for the SNP government."

He added: "At the time I said the decision was wrong and events since have vindicated just how wrong that decision was."
