"if you think the private sector will do much better than the public option, why are you worried that people will voluntarily choose what you think will be the worse plan?"

(after responding to a question by citing the bill itself and being harangued by the republican mob for doing so)  "there's no logic to being accused of having not read the bill by people who object when I do"

Sickening.    Absolutely sickening.

Lockerbie bomber release linked to oil deal: report
20 mins ago

LONDON (Reuters) – Britain agreed to include Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi in a prisoner transfer deal with Libya because of "overwhelming interests" shortly before an oil deal was sealed with Tripoli, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The Sunday Times said leaked letters from Justice Secretary Jack Straw undermined government denials of a link between the former Libyan agent's freedom and British trade interests.

Megrahi, 57, was released from jail on August 20 after Scottish authorities said his terminal cancer gave compassionate grounds for him to return home to die.

The British government has distanced itself from the decision, made by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, which has angered many relatives of the bombing's victims and the United States government, which lost 189 citizens.

Megrahi was the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie that killed 270 people. His rapturous reception in Tripoli has been criticized by the British and U.S. governments.

The Sunday Times said two letters from Straw, dated five months apart, showed he reversed an original plan to exclude Megrahi from a prisoner transfer agreement that was being discussed with Libya.

The paper said the change of heart appeared to be linked to a stalled $900 million oil and gas exploration deal with Libya for British oil giant BP that was ratified a few weeks later.

BP has always denied any link between the deal and the prisoner agreement.

Straw wrote to MacAskill in July 2007 to say he favored excluding Megrahi from the prisoner transfer, an arrangement desired by the Scottish administration which has autonomous powers over most criminal matters.

But by December 2007 he told MacAskill his position had changed.

"The wider negotiations with the Libyans are reaching a critical stage and, in view of the overwhelming interests for the United Kingdom, I have agreed that in this instance the (prisoner transfer agreement) should be in the standard form and not mention any individual," the Sunday Times quoted Straw as writing.

Straw told BBC radio the alleged link between trade and Megrahi's release was an "absurd confection."

"The suggestion that at any stage there was some kind of backdoor deal done over Mr Megrahi's transfer because of trade is simply untrue," he said

The negotiations on prisoner transfers were part of a "normalization process" with Libya, he said.

London had made clear to Tripoli that Scotland would retain an absolute right to refuse a prisoner transfer, he added,

Straw said the issue was "academic" given that Scotland eventually released Megrahi on compassionate grounds and not under the transfer agreement.

I certainly hope that's not true.  But my understanding is that, at least in England, there were serious doubts about whether he was actually involved or not, and whether the gov't convicted him solely out of expediency.

There seems to be a lot more to this story than we know.  That being said, having a gov't sponsored celebration upon his arrival was munson stupid.

Chris Broughton, the man who brought an AR-15 rifle and a handgun to an Arizona Obama rally earlier this month, says he "concurs" with his fundamentalist pastor's prayer for President Obama "to die and go to hell."

"I concur, I think we'd be better off if God would send [Obama] where he's going now instead of later. [Obama] is destroying our country."

And when a reporter followed up with, "you're not advocating violence against the president?" Broughton, who has previously said his weapons are for defense, says "I'm not going to answer that question directly."

"I don't care how God does it, I'm not going into further detail than that," Broughton says. "It would be better now than later."

More evidence our socialist government is spending unwisely and taking control of everything...

take that guys guns.  Its douches like him that make other gun folk look bad.  Honestly i dont know why this guy isnt dead, from everything i've ever heard, if you say bad things bout the pres no matter who, you are gonna get a few years in jail. 

[Sgt PSN]

you can say whatever you want about the pres, just can't make any physical or verbal/written threats.  if saying mean things about the pres got you locked up, half of this board would still be in jail from when dubbya was in office and the other half would be standing infront of a judge right now. 

[ice grillin you]

actually the bush admin put people in jail (and tortured them) for far less

and his justice department fired people for not towing the admin line

so im not sure you can say whatever you want about the president
