Obama Administration: Lockerbie Bomber Should Be Reimprisoned

There is no possible way that Scotland would release Abdel Baset Al-Megrahi (or ANYONE) if the US objected.



Not only because of the "special relationship" between the UK and the US, but because the vast majority of the victims were Americans, among them were a good number of US government officials (CIA and State Department).



Of the 270 victims, 190 were Americans, 43 were from the UK, Germany & Hungary had 4 citizens each. Canada, France, India, Ireland and Sweden had 3 each. Argentina & Italy had 2 each, and all the rest (Belgium, Bolivia, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Philippines, S. Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Tobago and Trinidad) had 1 each.



The prosecution of this case was a joint effort (more than joint, more like a 'round robin'-international effort, with people like Nelson Mandela and the Dutch participating at different points), but resting mainly on the US, UK, and the Dutch. The trial was held at a US air force base.



There was NOTHING about this case that happened without the US signing off on. If the US didn't agree, it didn't happen.

Obama Administration: Lockerbie Bomber Should Be Reimprisoned

That was the US position. The US did not support his release under any circumstances.

==============================



That's NOT true.

My judgment is well-informed. You have no idea what my "feelings" are about this administration, nor do they or would they matter with regard to this situation.



What I am is pretty d@mned irritated at 0'bots like you who look for irrelevancy after irrelevancy to distract people's attention from the fact that We The People can't get the transparency in our government that we were promised.
