Gadhafi’s revenge on the UK continues.


Hey, remember when people like him were too scared of people like us to try to play games like this?

Britain under pressure amid Lockerbie release

LONDON – Britain’s leaders faced strong pressure Saturday to account for any role they might have had in the release of the Lockerbie bomber after Moammar Gadhafi credited senior British officials and members of the royal family for influencing the decision.

[snip]

Libyan television showed pictures of Gadhafi singling out British Prime Minister Gordon Brown by name, as well as “the Queen of Britain, Elizabeth, and Prince Andrew, who all contributed to encouraging the Scottish government to take this historic and courageous decision, despite the obstacles.”

Mind you, this is the guy who couldn’t make nice fast enough, once we yanked Saddam Hussein out of his spider-hole. So what happened?

Oh.

Right.

Never mind…

This has me so angry over this.

The media better start demanding answers here what did the British and American gov’t do here.

 

But they sent a strongly worded letter

Who cares if the guy was dying in prison? They could have planted him in the Yard as fertilizer. Its environmentally friendly.

Gordon Brown faced fresh questions tonight after it emerged that he discussed with Colonel Gaddafi detailed conditions for the Lockerbie bomber’s return nearly six weeks ago, while senior Labour figures warned of an economic backlash from angry Americans “costing our country dear”.

Downing Street released the text of a cordial letter sent to the Libyan leader on the day that Abdulbaset al-Megrahi was released, asking that the event be kept low key because a “high-profile” ceremony would distress his victims and their families.

But critically the letter also refers to a meeting between the two leaders six weeks earlier at the G8 summit in Italy, adding that “when we met [there] I stressed that, should the Scottish executive decide that Megrahi can return to Libya, this should be a purely private family occasion” rather than a public celebration.

Previously officials have said that the two men’s conversation in Italy at the beginning of July was brief and that, while the Lockerbie case was raised, Brown merely stressed the matter was one for the Scottish government to decide.

However, the new letter, addressed to “Dear Muammar” and signed off by wishing him a happy Ramadan, suggests that the decision was well enough advanced and Brown well enough briefed to set terms for a homecoming – albeit unsuccessfully. A jubilant Libyan crowd, some waving Scottish flags, greeted Megrahi at the airport.

should raise flags that they probably knew of this and – maybe – tacitly approved it. No deal like this happened without them knowing beforehand.

Perhaps their outrage is real…only perhaps.

First, Brown will never go out against this cause Scotland is labour stronghold ( only place they still are beating torries really)

Two, I doubt this would of happened if Bush were still in charge; gut feeling

This whole compassion grounds is hog wash. Scotland just welcomed a whole bunch of new tourism by terrorists
