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.

It's hard to believe that Downing Street knew and Obama didn't.

That said, family members of some British victims after studying all the facts supported his relrease, it may not be as black n white an issue as it seems after first glance at headlines.

This is probably the best insider information sit on the net about Lockerbie. The site owner was QAl Megrahi's employer and was used falsely to be expert testimony . He dedicated the site to Megrahi, complete with Libyan national anthem, and worked tirelessly to prove that the timing device was indeed faked by the US government. Most of the prosecution's witnesses have recanted testimony against Al Megrahi and are now testifying against the US government.

Damn right they would set him free instead of putting new evidence in front of a new court. It really seems that the new evidence inplicating the US will go ahead though.
