White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber

So did Obama back the release or condemn, First and GMScud? It can't be both. I love how you and GMScud manufacture controversy with these bs Obama threads.

Do you guys watch the news -- at all? Or just scour the internet for sh*t to whine about?

Now here's some actual reporting on what Obama said about the release.

You can include SS33 in that list too...it is really getting worse by the day and it's troubling to see their anger take over.

I take it you didn't actually read the link in the OP 12th

I did, but it's not the link I really have an issue with, it's the title of the thread and ensuing and misleading attacks.

12th, maybe this is a little of the problem. From the CNN article you linked:
Obama said most Americans were "surprised, disappointed and angry" about the decision to let al Megrahi go. "We should have all the facts," he added. "They should be laid out there." The decision "ran contrary to how we should be treating terrorists."

contrasted with this quote from the OP article:
The US has tried to keep the letter secret, refusing to give permission to the Scottish authorities to publish it on the grounds it would prevent future "frank and open communications" with other governments.

So, do we lay it all out, or prevent the letter's disclosure. If Pres Obama thinks the letter should not be published, then he should state that some facts can't be released at this time, due to the strategic nature of the conversations, or national interests, or what ever he wants to say. But don't tell the national media that all the facts should be laid out, and at the same time have your administration trying to suppress a key letter.

Obama, Cameron blast release of Lockerbie bomber - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/07/20/obama.cameron.visit/index.html)

That article is months after the fact and is only 6 days old and this happened how long ago. Funny how thay had harsh words but stop at that.

Washington (CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday blasted Scottish authorities' decision to release the convicted Lockerbie bomber last year and agreed on the need to push for a more transparent disclosure of the circumstances surrounding Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi's release.
Cameron, however, said he is opposed to a British government investigation into the release.

The US has tried to keep the letter secret, refusing to give permission to the Scottish authorities to publish it on the grounds it would prevent future "frank and open communications" with other governments.

In the letter, sent on August 12 last year to Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and justice officials, Mr LeBaron wrote that the US wanted Megrahi to remain imprisoned in view of the nature of the crime.

If you believe the letter exists and the letter's content says we "Megrahi to remain imprisoned" what exactly in this "key letter" is being suppressed?

You can include SS33 in that list too...it is really getting worse by the day and it's troubling to see their anger take over.

You guys have very short memories because we had to read thread after thread of hate on Bush from you guys. Some of it was diserved but there was plenty of BS mixed in over the years. I don't hate Obama I just don't think he is a very good president.

You will find none by me. Feel free to go look for them. If you don't think he's a good president that's fine but at least be able to justify why you think that with sound reason and credible protests. If you guys keep crying wolf about every little stupid thing eventually no one will believe you.

I really don't know what this thread is about...start off with the impression that Obama admin released the bomber...then it was about "how he really wasn't surprised at the news".....now it's about "him not releasing a key letter" and how "he's not transparent." You guys and your arguments are a moving target but a slow moving target that's easy to pick off.

I don't know who you guys are, but you won't find one thread, and I dare say, one post by me bashing Bush. I'd be surprised if you could dig up one. Now I've disagreed with him, I've been angry with him, don't like him, but I can't recall starting a thread just to gin up bs.

They don't even know what the thread is about.
