Surprise! The conservative-hyped Lockerbie release "scandal" completely falls apart

"Yesterday, the noise machine's nonsense scandal du jour was that the Obama administration supposedly "supported" the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Fox News' Dana Perino, FoxNews.com, Drudge, and several conservative bloggers hyped the story, with the always-unhinged Pam Geller going so far as to call for a "special investigation" and a "charge of treason." Rush Limbaugh claimed that Obama "backed the release," because he "wanted to make nice with the Muslim world."

As we pointed out at the time, reports indicated that the administration opposed the release of the Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds, but stipulated that if he were to be released, he should go to Scotland, and not to Libya.

Predictably, the story has continued to disintegrate. Yesterday, The State Department released its correspondence with the Scottish Ministry of Justice, which states in no uncertain terms that the administration "is not prepared to support Megrahi's release on compassionate release or bail," and that "it would be most appropriate for Megrahi to remain imprisoned for the entirety of his sentence."

Responding to the release of the letter in a post headlined "Two Cheers For The Administration On Megrahi," PowerLine's John Hinderaker states that this story is a "non-controversy in which the State Department and the Obama administration acted honorably and appropriately."

Must not be up on my conservative stuff. All I heard was that BP probably effectuated his release, in order to curry favor with Libya and gain deep water drilling rights.

If they did, it worked.

Was thinking the "scandal' was the claim of shock and surprise that release was contemplated when they (administration) were already involved with discussion. kind of like Breibarts' claim his video release was to highlight NAACP reaction to Sherrods' story. But it is much easier to ignore those points and mount a defense predicated on whatever is easiest for libs to wrap their lips around.

You can always tell when a liberal or progressive is lying. Their (cyber) lips are moving.

If Obama said "the sky is blue," I'd have to go check for myself.
