UK sources: Obama knew about the Lockerbie bomber every step of the way
posted at 8:06 pm on September 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Astute Bloggers, is this a scandal or not?
British officials claim Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton were kept informed at all stages of discussions concerning Megrahi’s return.
The officials say the Americans spoke out because they were taken aback by the row over Megrahi’s release, not because they did not know it was about to happen.
‘The US was kept fully in touch about everything that was going on with regard to Britain’s discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi,’ said the Whitehall aide.
‘We would never do anything about Lockerbie without discussing it with the US. It is disingenuous of them to act as though Megrahi’s return was out of the blue.
I’ve always assumed that they knew what was going on. How could they not? The objection to Megrahi’s release, as articulated by Frum, is that they didn’t pound the table more, not that they weren’t kept informed. Even so, this is the same M.O. The One followed during the Iran uprising, isn’t it? He keeps his mouth shut until a critical mass of public outrage is reached, then he creeps behind the podium and offers tepid denunciations. Way to lead, champ.

Sarcasm. I agreed 100% with post I quoted.
Koa on September 6, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Not trying to be critical, and I could think of a gazillion smart retorts. Trust me, I am biting my tongue. But, hey, regarding the subject matter: This.Just.Ain’t.Funny. I say this despite my previous snarky remark about jihadists being called to the table.
Obama sucking his thumb over the “resignation” of Jones is kinda funny. The release of a mass murderer with the US government’s “wink-wink, nod, nod” is anything but.
If there is ANY, ANY truth in this it is treasonous, and as much as I think Obama is a totally inept weasel-assed bacterium, I seriously pray it is NOT true.
Chewy the Lab on September 6, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Figured this had to be the case, I mean why would Obama object anyway? Obama just sets people who bomb US ships free so he can work on his political objectives.
Rbastid on September 6, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Honestly, if this is how we are now going to handle terrorists who have killed Americans, we might as well bring our men home and say f*ck it. This guy Obama is a damn disgrace.
echosyst on September 6, 2009 at 9:52 PM
If true, this is huge. Complicit in letting the mass murderer 180 Americans go free in triumphant return? Pack your bags Barry.

Dusty on September 6, 2009 at 9:57 PM
You seem to be forgetting the Clinton legacy. The Clinton administration ignored the GWOT, instead treating each incident of terrorism (including the first WTC bombing) as nothing more than a crime scene. Upon leaving office, the pardons sold for Hillary’s benefit included Puerto Rican terrorists who would help her with the NYC vote. The crowning point in the Clinton Legacy was the 9/11/01 atrocities that would not have been as easy to pull off without very bad public policy made for political correctness over national security. Hillary is just as blind to the truth in these matters.
highhopes on September 6, 2009 at 8:35 PM
SORRY BUT GOTTA TAKE YOU ON THAT POST…
What Puerto Rican terrorists? I hope you are not calling the WHOLE island terrorists. They are as American as you! If you are calling Puerto Rican terrorists, I can tell you WE have three in Congress, not born nor raised in Puerto Rico that seek independence for the island. OOhh, and this new Supreme Court judge, one of her writings was of support for Puerto Rico’s independence. She was not born nor raised in Puerto Rico so she does not know diddly squat what she wrote about. Second-hand Newyorricans think that they know better than those that have been thru hell and back.
Americans invaded Puerto Rico. Do not judge a 0.05% for 4 million citizens. I am aware of the terrorists that stormed thru shootin’, the bunch that wanted to make a big brou-ha-ha at Vieques Island and take advantage of a disgrace (a loss of life) to turn it into a political cause.
There are the other few that robbed the Wells Fargo truck. Do not judge these twats along with the rest of us (I was born and raised there, so I have to defend them) while we were sitting on our couches, politically waiting for Washington to make a decision (meaning Natural Resources & Electric Committee).
They are not on the 9/12 stage yet; we went thru something like this last elections, I was part of it but it was not successful b/c of power and greed. This is working b/c it has NO LEADER. I hope with all the chaos that is happening rght now, then they will wake up yet again, but en masse.
Remember, it is extremely important that we become a state. We can decide elections. 4 million with 86% voter participation? The POTUS candidates will have to fly their asses there and campaign and campaign hard. I am aware of the Democrat-leaning but it’s because they have not been informed properly of the Republican side (DNC allows primaries there, RNC DOES NOT). Go back to YouTube and look it up; reporters were left scratching their heads.
The Clintons did campaign hard even tho Hillary’s cause was basically lost but they flew over about 4 times, last time even Chelsea was there. What O did? Dance “salsa” by himself, barricaded b/c he could not be touched except handshakes. Michelle? No clue. Did not care. That’s why O lost in Puerto Rico.
So do not blame it on Puerto Rico; we did not pick The Anointed One.
ProudPalinFan on September 6, 2009 at 9:59 PM
What do you expect from a POTUS that hates America and it’s people.
gophergirl on September 6, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Obama’s White House and Clinton’s State Dept. going all squishy on mass-murderers?
Why am I so not surprised.
Socratease on September 6, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Clinton pardoned a bunch of FALN terrorists – no one is talking about indicting the entire population of Puerto Rico as terrorists. Google “Clinton FALN pardon” and do some reading, perhaps.
Midas on September 6, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Leftist can say all they want about VP Cheney and Halliburton, if these allegations are shown to be true they are treasonable at least criminal at best for aiding and giving comfort to the enemy. IF TRUE, both PM Brown and President Obama should go!!
Crazzy Ron on September 6, 2009 at 10:06 PM
I agree. This man should be impeached for disgace. I know it won’t happen, but still.

The Republicans should refuse to discuss health care until Obama and Clinton provide information about what they knew and when they knew it. They should boycott Obama’s speech unless he agrees to provide the information.
This would not be grandstanding – but a call to action for the security of the US.
huckleberryfriend on September 6, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Dear god, there is no way I can take another 3 years of this incompetence. I will be outside the W.H. with a torch and pitchfork by the time 2012 comes around. The country and indeed the Free world can’t take it.
Yakko77 on September 6, 2009 at 10:16 PM
While I have NO doubt this is true, the real question is how this will be handled by the Media. While I can rely on Fox and talk radio to cover this, no doubt MSNBC and the rest of the Obama media train will ignore this or down play it as much as possible. I believe this is a real sad period in our country.
DRod on September 6, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Its 3am and there is a phone call….
doctor horton on September 6, 2009 at 10:21 PM
torch and pitchfork? You’re correct…
Because we’ll need the torches for daily light, as the Electricity grid crashes due to a lack of generating capacity, and all the dang electric cars…
And we’ll all have pitchforks because we’ll be growing food, to feed ourselves because we’ll be in such a bad depresion, we won’t be working.
Romeo13 on September 6, 2009 at 10:21 PM
If this is true about Obama, it’s time to impeach!

Yup, manufactured crisis in 5, 4, 3,2, 1.
“Oh look, over there! Geez if the right hadn’t been jousting at windmills over this silly Van Jones business, we would have seen (insert tomorrow’s headline) coming.”
Chewy the Lab on September 6, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Never forget. Obama is a cold man full of anger and hatred towards the United States, the Constitution, the rule of law, the Bill of Rights and the freedom of the average American. Letting terrorists go means nothing to him, just as the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans means nothing to him. Which is why Van Jones’ trutherism meant nothing to him. I doubt Teh Won shed many tears the day the twin towers fell.
The Clintons, I could understand, in their greed and lust for power and fame. Obama doesn’t just want power–he wants to destroy as well–destroy this country and remake it in his own image.

If true, this is a fist in the faces of all the families whose loved ones were murdered. Unforgivable.

Alright, enough with the one-eyed stuff. You will make my patch fall off.
Johan Klaus on September 6, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Which of the two evil clowns in this fiasco will flip first? Obama or Hillary? Or will they both try to keep quiet out of fear of what the other has on them?
If this is true, then Obama and Clinton have American blood on their hands, and impeachment should follow like night follows day.
Maquis on September 6, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Of course they knew! Little goes on at that level without Britain telling us and we telling Britain. They just didn’t care, until it blew up.
Which is another example of the administration’s inability to sense outrage in normal people. Watching this crew surpass the fraternity level incompetence of the former Clinton administration is an experience. I think I will put the statement “It can’t get any worse than this.” in my pocket for the next four years. I use it so much now, it is getting worn out.

Sorry, sweet. Arrrrh…..
Fortunata on September 6, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Exactly. I don’t see what Hillary’s getting out of this deal at all. Obama effectively marginalized her and worse all these administrations failures will be tied to her also.

I won’t believe it until Tom Brokaw tells me it’s not true.
GrannyDee on September 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Do let me know when you are doing that, I’ll want to join you.
promachus on September 6, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Your context and expression was incredibly vague. Therefore, I had to write what I had to. Like it or not, they are well liked in PR b/c of other circumstances, not this.
Besides, that does not make Obama nor Clinton any better. Presidents~Democrats~That caused dissent, uproar and surprise in the island; of course this was NOT treated the same as in Libya,since Puerto Rico does not have a dictator; just a governor like the rest of the states, and manage YOUR taxdollars in PR.
Pardons often occur at the end of the president’s term. So hold on to your seatbelts b/c if what my theory is not right (he will quit and/or be tried for treason)and he will complete his term, lots of ‘em Muslim terrorists will be set free right here in this soil. I twittered about this at #tcot and to @glennbeck. Obama will set them free. He’s no Christian!
And don’t try and lecture me sir; with all due respect that is NOT gonna happen. Who in Congress or House will have the COJONES to put a stop to this? Bloggers are doing their job; Glenn, and talk radio are excellent. Anybody that we have elected?
Bloggers have done digging; Twitterers the same; we have audio, video, transcripts of the crazies and it is not enough to move this guy away from the house that is white?
I have faith in We The People and what has been greatly organized for 9/12. The info is out there; we just need someone that will take it and run with it.
ProudPalinFan on September 6, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Remember not a year yet and people have resigned already, about 3 or 4 right? If Hillary does, the house of cards will start falling and jump ship will start…not even a year in his office.
How ’bout that?

Not even 8 months in and Barack Obama and his administration have already demonstrated the worst traits and characteristics of every previous President and his administration.

Let’s wait until all the information is known and the president answers the charges before you unpatriotically bash him.
Norman Blizter on September 7, 2009 at 12:21 AM
Honestly, did anyone think the POTUS was unaware of all of this?
No matter how much of a laughingstock Dear Leader is, he is still the POTUS.
As much as I find this disappointing, the sad fact is that the west has always negotiated with terrorists, all parties, all countries, all the time (in one way or another).

I should clarify, especially with nations that promote and harbor terrorists, but I lump them all in together.
reaganaut on September 7, 2009 at 12:27 AM
And really, can you trust UK officials who first stated that the release was on compassionate grounds and then we learn it was more about oil contracts than compassion?
Norman Blizter on September 7, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Sorry, I don’t use rationalization to mitigate wrongdoing. This is just more fuel for the fire.
atheling on September 7, 2009 at 12:28 AM
For in a Republic, who is “the country?” Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
- Mark Twain
We teach them to take their patriotism at second-hand; to shout with the largest crowd without examining into the right or wrong of the matter, exactly as boys under monarchies are taught and have always been taught. We teach them to regard as traitors, and hold in aversion and contempt, such as do not shout with the crowd, and so here in our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place, the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else’s keeping. This is patriotism on the Russian plan.
- Mark Twain
The true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the Nation ALL the time, loyalty to the Government ONLY when it deserves it.

MB4 on September 7, 2009 at 12:33 AM
I wasn’t aware that I was mitigating wrongdoing. I’m simply pointing out that these sort of deals happen all the time, and we shouldn’t be suddenly outraged that Obama was involved.
Every time it happens there should be outrage.

MarkABinVA on September 7, 2009 at 12:37 AM
He’s doing almost exactly what he was elected to do, even on health care. He’s the president and has yet to do anything so blatantly evil like the previous president. We should all respect him as the president until he actually does something so vile that would really deserve scorn.
Norman Blizter on September 7, 2009 at 12:42 AM

Norman Blizter on September 7, 2009 at 12:45 AM
Nope. People on the right hate him for being a leftie and that’s all. IMHO, he’s done little wrong and all this outrage is just manufactured by right-wing mouthpieces.

Obama : Hello

Obama : Its OK, I knew you would be calling. So whassup
Brown : There is this terrorist in our custody we need to release, but it might raise a stink in your country
Obama : What did he do ?
Brown : Blew up a plane, killed 270 people, mostly Americans
Obama : Which country he is from ?
Brown : Libya
Obama : Oh , Libya huh ? What are you getting for it
Brown : Well, it is not final yet but it will be BP
Obama : What, blood pressure..what
Brown : No Mr Prez, British Petroleum
Obama : Libya is a friendly nation. Rev Wright & Min Farrakhan praise the Libyan leader all the time. I don’t see a problem, go make some money, fine by me
Brown : But what will American people say ? Will you be able to control them when they react ?
Obama : Oh Gordy, we have a free press here. You won’t hear a peep. So what is your cover-up story
Brown : Compassion, death, the usual tearjerker stuff
Obama : You take care at your end. You could have decided this yourself. You know my feelings on this. Muslim terrorists doing their job should not be persecuted .
Brown : Got it. Sorry had to inform you anyway
Obama : Yeah yeah , now get off the line. I have to call my guys to get some diversion started in the media..Keep me in the loop with the BP deal
Brown : Yessir. Bye

The precedent for this event was set, when earlier this year, the US dropped all charges against the USS Cole Bomber,Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri “without prejudice” to comply with President Obama’s order to shut down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay.

Well, all you have to do is put this little disgrace onto the same table as the Iranian election and Honduras and Crap + Tax and Healthcare and Porkulus and writing assignments to schoolskids about how they can support the President and Van Jones and…
There are no conclusions to draw other than Bama is a radical marxist and is going to run true and straight to that ideal. He said nothing better than anyone ever has in his campaign because if he said what he thought, no POTUS, Hussein. And Michelle would still be ashamed of this country. Sob…
Get with the program. Jones was vetted and approved BECAUSE HE FITS WITH THE OBAMA AGENDA. You cannot assign ineptitude to this appointment…too many people close to Bama knew who this guy was. And they all approved of Jones, just another fellow traveler. Valerie Jarrett, you name it. Bama knew everything about Jones.
Gibbs can lie about it because Gibbs is less than a scumbag, less than a used condom, the clinical definition of a “scumbag”. I don’t even want to know what happens to that poor sack in his off hours.
The bad news is Jones is now way off the radar and Bama is going to send him lots of taxpayer money. Jones may be more harmful in that mode, but we will see.
Bama does not have benign intentions for this courtry or its people. He got elected by concealing this. We will see what happens from now on.

Back on 9/1, Joe Scarborough said something like “All you need to do is be in DC for one day and you would know that the UK kept the US informed and got approval for the release”. I can’t remember the exact words, but it was something like that.
It really is time for someone to do the smart thing and investigate the actions of B.O. You have to think that the Dems are starting to get a bit worried about losing support back home with the WH actions that they know are not generally accepted by US citizens.

Personally I’d like to see a major “What did s/he know and when did s/he know it?” campaign directed at Clinton and Obama. This is an outrageous disgrace that just makes my blood boil.
It sure sounds like the condemnation of the action coming out of Obama and Clinton was false and staged.
I seem to remember that what drove Khadfi away from terrorism explicitly was when he saw what happened to Saddam Hussein. Ah, but that was when the US had a strong foreign policy. Now we have a President too timid to stand up for his own country.

What “specifically” has he done that you elected him to do, Norman–drive unemployment up to almost 10%?
Blitzer = coming to a neighborhood near you, with government uniforms (not yet created–I hope) and police shields. All must hail the President!
johnny alpha on September 7, 2009 at 5:55 AM
Sure he knew about it. How could he not. I’ve maintained all along this action was known about and, at the very least, had tacit approval from the BO administration.
This article, however, lays the groundwork for a future claim that the Bush administration was behind the release in some way. Note this part:
‘The US was kept fully in touch about everything that was going on with regard to Britain’s discussions with Libya in recent years and about Megrahi,’ said the Whitehall aide.
This way the BO folks can claim they knew about it all but could do nothing to stop it because it was a done deal.
Of course one might ask the question, were the press capable of asking this administration ANYTHING difficult, why the release did not take place until several months into the new administration AND shortly after the new president was glad-handing with the Libyan leader?
I maintain that were the previous administration to be involved in this at all, it was more likely they kept the Brits from doing the deed while Bush was in office. There is no way Bush would have given approval to any release of ANY terrorist, especially this one. But once terror apologists everywhere got their guy on the throne … er … in the White House all bets were off.
The Brits and the Scots certainly have no reason to do anything the U.S. asks of them any more thanks to the “new relationship” between us. But I’m positive old Gordy Brown and those trying to save Labour’s face would never EVER do anything so controversial without discussing it with BO first.
Of course he knew. And as is usual with this president, he was caught flat-footed when the American people bothered to stand up and ask just what in the hell is going on.

Bush will have the legacy of capturing terrorists and Obama will have the legacy of letting them go.

Are members of Congress required to attend his speech Wednesday night? If I was one, Id have to think long and hard before attending. At the very least, I sure wouldnt be clap nor give a standing O.

So Bozo could have said “No, leave the faker in prison” but instead Bozo approved the release of a terrorist who killed American citizens for oil.
Gee, if Bush did that, we would hear it from every MSM outlet. You can bet your arse the libturds will smother this story or try to.

Of course he did, the non-Justice Department Holder said he did.

How could Bozo and the harridan be surprised by an angry response to releasing a terrorist? Its hard to credit, unless they are self deluded to the point of insanity.

I have to say I am very surprised to read this. I just assumed all along that Obama knew it was going to happen and gave no resistance.
It would be nice if we could run with this but I’m not so sure this will get enough coverage. Is someone paging Beck?

Beck is pretty busy right now, perhaps Hannity should get off his dead butt…

Yes, where is dear leader?
We need to be told what to think, damnit!

When will folks get it in their head that once a rattlesnake always a rattlesnake.

Norman Blitzer? Afrolib? What the heck is going on here? There is enough honest outrage in America without HA becomeing a clown show. These personas are to political discource what etch-a-sketch is to art.
