No.10 turns on Obama and Clinton for criticising decision to release Lockerbie bomber

Whitehall said US President Obama and Hillary Clinton's reaction to Abdelbaset Al Megrahi's release was 'disingenuous'
Downing Street has hit back at  Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for attacking the decision to release the Lockerbie bomber.

President Obama and the US Secretary of State fuelled a fierce American backlash against Britain, claiming Abdelbaset Al Megrahi should have been forced to serve out his jail sentence in Scotland – but a senior Whitehall aide said their reaction was ‘disingenuous’.

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.

Power is their only objective.

They have no time to worry about the lives of ordinary Americans or justice.


Kinda makes all this brouhaha about fair trials for terrorists ring hollow, doesn't it? Let's give them full legal rights that they have no legal claim to, bog the trials down in court, risk every asinine technicality...

...and let them go as soon as we can score a juicy contract with the terror sponsoring nation.

Um...  "Duh?"  Is that the right word for this?  "Duh?"  Yeah.  "Duh."
