Did the White House Lobby for Lockerbie Bomber's Release?
The U.S. government appears to be complicit in the early release of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, who in 2001 had been sentenced to spend the rest of his natural life in a Scottish prison. However, Megrahi was released and allowed to return to Libya last year when it was made public that he was allegedly terminally ill with cancer and expected to live only three months. Megrahi is still alive in Libya, and some experts maintain that he could live another decade in his native country.
Documents surrounding the matter that were recently made public reveal that the U.S. government considered "compassionate release" in Scotland -- where Megrahi was imprisoned -- more acceptable than a transfer to Libya, where he remains a free man. Not surprisingly, Attorney General Eric Holder was involved in this correspondence. What is surprising is why compassion had to be considered at all for the terrorist who was responsible for the murder of 270 people. Perhaps it's just another example of Barack Obama's outreach to the Muslim world to help them understand their "contributions" to society.
