Obama Administration: Lockerbie Bomber Should Be Reimprisoned

Thanks, but I don't need you to translate anything for me.



The US position should have been "We do not support release of Abdel Baset Al-Megrahi under any circumstances."



As soon as the US equivocates from that position, it's about business, pure and simple. In this case, the US and British government cowed to pressure by BP so that BP could win lucrative business contracts in Libya.

Obama Administration: Lockerbie Bomber Should Be Reimprisoned

White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi



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.



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.

U.S. Tells Israel That Iran Nuke 'Dash' Could Take A Year

You said, "Neoconservatives and most of the Iraq war advocates have dual citizenship" and I asked you "Who?"



You responded, "if you click the link I provided you would have learned who are those individual with dual citizenship are."



Nobody at that link who is or was a government official has dual citizenship.



Not Michael Chertoff, not Jane Harman, not Michael Mukasey, not Richard Perle, not Douglas Feith, not Paul Wolfowitz, not Larry Franklin, not Henry Kissinger, not Edward Luttwak, not Dov Zakheim, not any of them.

Goldman Sachs Goes Nuclear, May Sell Uranium: Report

Like "clean coal", there is no such thing a "clean and safe" nuclear power.



No one has yet found a durable solution for storing nuclear waste, that remains highly radioactive for centuries.



France continues to deposit thousands of tons of highly radioactive waste into its nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague on the Normandy Atlantic coast, close to the English Channel.



Confirmation that radioactive brine has been leaking for two decades from a German underground deposit for nuclear waste is yet another blow to the idea that nuclear power can safely increase electricity generation and simultaneously reduce emissions.



Radioactive leaks from the nuclear waste deposit Asse II near Braunschweig in Lower Saxony, some 225 km southwest of Berlin, were first discovered in 1988. The state-owned Helmholtz Institute for Scientific Research, which operates the centre, officially admitted the leaks only Jun. 16, under pressure from the German press.

U.S. Tells Israel That Iran Nuke 'Dash' Could Take A Year

With the exception of one name on your link (and that one, Dov Zakheim, does NOT hold dual citizenship), none of the other people talked about in that article who have served in US government are accused of holding dual citizenship.



That's a propaganda device (mentioning US government officials in the same breath as agents of Israel, suggesting that their actions and positions are due to having divided loyalties from holding dual citizenship in the US and Israel), by the way, and a deceitful method for getting around libel and slander laws. Either you don't know that and are an innocent victim of the propaganda (innocent by way of ig.no.rance), or you're fully aware of the deceit being employed in that article and are willfully spreading the l!es (which would make you an anti-zionist or anti-semite, or both). Whichever it is, anti-zionism or anti-semitism (and they're not the same thing), it actually works against the efforts to get foreign influence out of US government policies.



We have plenty to go after neocons and other Iraq war advocates about without Iying about their having "dual citizenship".
