Did Obama Sign Off On Lockerbie Bomber’s Release?
Author | joe | Posted on | September 7, 2009 | 8 Comments
The mainstream press will not touch this story so follow it at Hot Air.
UPDATE: Below the fold is the list of victims of the Lockerbie bombing. As you can see, the vast majority of the 270 killed were U.S. citizens.
UPDATE II: News report following the bomber’s release, worth watching … especially in light of the logical conclusion of the aforementioned leak to the British press:
Which leads me to only two possible conclusions:
- The British officials are either lying or jaw-droppingly misinformed about what Obama knew and when he knew it; or…
- Obama could have stopped the release but chose, for political reasons, not to do so. To put it another way, if the Brits are correct, then Obama tacitly approved, by deliberate inaction, the release of the Lockerbie bomber.

Yea, World Press is a very reliable source. Seek and ye shall find!

Come on Lovisa, dispute the message, not the messenger !
Reality check, your guy has his own Willie Horton !
September 7th, 2009 @ 2:10 pm
Lovisa is trying to thow you off, assuming everyone will be too lazy to click on the link themselves.
Here is where the leak was reported:

Yea, dailymail! They also say that “Prince Andrews had talks with Gadaffi son”.
World Press and Daily News – reliable sources. Koolaid OD this Labor Day, perhaps?

“They also say that “Prince Andrews had talks with Gadaffi son””
So does the BBC, are they kool-aid drinkers as well ?
September 7th, 2009 @ 8:00 pm
Lovisa,
What dans said is perfectly appropriate. Even if the world’s most outrageous news source reports something, it is a logic fallacy to dismiss the argument because of the source.
How many “reliable sources” carried the stories relating to Van Jones? If this was enough to dismiss a person, shouldn’t you now discount those that did not carry the news (abc, cbs, nbc, etc.) as not being reliable (they filter the news to slant public opinion)?

Students of journalism, what a waste. All that money spent in good faith only to end of reading what someone else wrote from a teleprompter…hmm, sounds like someone else.
There are no journalists anymore, only puppets securing the agendas of others.

Rather than have all this back and forth about what may be creditable and what he Obama did or didn’t know or did or didn’t try to do, wouldn’t it be so much easier if Obama simply allowed the Scottish to release the communications that US officials had with Scottish officials leading up to Megrahi’s release. Doing so might also be a sign of open government as promised.
If you want some creditable sources on the topic try visiting:
