State Department to Libya: Hey, how about sending the Lockerbie bomber back to prison in Scotland ?
Hot Air ^ | August 19, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Worth a shot, no? It’s not like the guy received a hero’s welcome when he stepped off the plane last year, making him precisely the sort of perverse symbol of national pride that crackpot dictators crave.

I’m sure Gadaffi will be reasonable.

John Brennan, Barack Obama’s counter-terrorism adviser, criticised the “unfortunate and inappropriate and wrong decision.”

He said: “We’ve expressed our strong conviction that Al Megrahi should serve out the remainder – the entirety – of his sentence in a Scottish prison.”…

The bomber returned to jubilant scenes in Libya on August 20 last year after being released from a Scottish prison. Today he remains alive – despite being given three months to live at the time of his release.

The estimated life expectancy of Megrahi was crucial because, under Scottish rules, prisoners can be freed on compassionate grounds only if they are considered to have this amount of time or less to live.

Do you suppose that Obama and Hillary requested a second opinion when the government-paid doctor diagnosed this guy as terminal?

While the State Department is at it, maybe they could ask Libya to returned the left over C-4 the CIA sold them eight years prior to the bombing of Pan Am 103.

FYI, the CIA and Department of Justice has admitted that the CIA sold C-4 to Libya and I can point you to the court record that proves it.

Maybe experts and self-professed Muslim lovers like Roger Ebert and Mayor Bloomin’ Idiot can be called in to negotiate this

My money says the guy had Paki doctors who lied about his condition. A majority of the docs in the UK are either Muzzie or Indian.

Absolutely. Make it happen. Make this your one issue and clamp onto it like a pit bull with jaws locked on a man’s ankle. Good luck and God give you strength, peace, and wisdom. “The point isn’t to read history, but to make history.” - Lenin

Well that certainly changes everything doesn't it. Notify the media, breaking news, CIA pulled some stunt thirty years ago.

Even better than Cuba! Michael Moore could make a movie about it.

Well, the lies of the DoJ resulted in an innocent man spending over 20 years in prison for a crime the DoJ knew he did not commit. That’s not a big deal to you?
