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.

20 posts on a scoop that proves Obama loves Muslim terrorists?
Good grief! This should be 400 by now.
This info needs to me in the minds and hearts of every American -— the Obozo admin. is a den of liars, frauds, anti-American sleazy opportunists for the far left....
Scotland released this terrorist prisoner with the strong support, not opposition, of the Obama admin.
Obama’s just acting as one would expect from an America-hater. The Kenyan gives the finger to America, her people and her interests once again.
Forget the Republicans, their just as corrupt as the Democrats and have no guts or Leadership.
They have had and have every opportunity to to something and have failed every time.
They are worthless and weak and perhaps it is time for a new party.
The Whig party went by the wayside and the Republicans came into being now we need another avenue and choice.
One would think....
Impeach
What is really sad about this, is that I am not surprised.
The administration can’t go any lower.
Jeez, how many FReepers are sitting in front of their computers on a Sunday afternoon and how many are spending time with their families, golfing, playing tennis, barbecuing, boating, fishing or just plain laying in a hammock?
Sheesh!
Can’t imagine that Barry didn’t also give an informal green-light to releasing Polanski too. Since there’s no scrutiny of Barry’s activities by the press we’ll never really know what went down in that case.
This is beyond shameful. The relatives of those who perished suffered enough losing their family members; our government lying about the release is adding insult to injury.
Impeach the treasonous bastard.
Wasn’t this already confirmed, at least admitted back when it happened? I recall threads here when the guy was getting out, we were all criticizing, my memory has it that not only did the White House okay the release, but in her role as Sec of State, former NY Senator Hillary Clinton had given her okay. Somewhere in the memory banks is Schumer giving some okee dokee as well — I guess I’m having a hard time understanding this “What, who, gee?” unless it’s the BP connection, the release because of an oil deal part of it.
That was my first thought, too. I am not sure how this is "breaking".
“If this news isn’t a major Republican TV ad in the next campaign cycle, my checkbook will remain slammed shut as far as the GOP is concerned. “
Not too hard to make it an issue. Show the wreckage, a few words from family members and, if possible, show the hero’s welcome that the terrorist received. We will, of course, be called unfair - but is it any worse than showing a truck being driven around with a chain behind it (used in 2000 to fire up blacks against Bush).
See post 18.
The pubbies wish to remain “above” the rhetoric ~ I’ve honestly given up on the GOP.
What could Obama possibly say about such an ad; that it were racist? HA!
No, this is new news.
How can Obama claim to have “hearbroken, shocked and disappointed” in something he help architect?
What dimension are we supposed to be operating in here?
No.10 turns on Obama and Clinton for criticising decision to release Lockerbie bomber
