>>If we're going to hate, shouldn't we direct our hatred at the actual people who made the decision to let him go? If a parent were to shoplift an expensive new toy for a crying child would you hate the child?

>>BP's statement Thursday repeated earlier acknowledgments that it had promoted the transfer agreement to protect a $900 million offshore oil-and-gas exploration deal off Libya's Mediterranean coast.
>>
>>The British justice minister at the time, Jack Straw, admitted shortly after al-Megrahi was repatriated and freed that the BP deal was a consideration in the government's review of his case.
>>
>>In the end, al-Megrahi was not released under the prisoner-transfer agreement. Instead, to the consternation of the Obama administration, and of many of the victims' families, the Scottish government released him under provisions in Scottish law that allow for a prisoner's sentence to be commuted on humanitarian grounds, because of al-Megrahi's cancer. That freed him from serving any further prison time in Libya, as he would have had to do under the transfer pact.

>I agree that the actual people who let him go made a huge mistake too....and it's my understanding that this so-called 'cancer' he has is not putting him on a death-bed & that he will probably live 10 more years - although who knows what part of THAT is true.
>BUT - B.P.'s actions were driven by nothing other than pure greed. Perhaps the Scottish let him go for humanitarian reasons if they really thought he was about to die - but all BP cared about was money! The more I think about it the more pissed I am at BP than the Scott's.

Considering Obama was a recipient of a large amount of campaign cash from BP and he appears to have given approval to this plan, I'm assuming you've got some hate saved up for him as well.

Save some for Hillary too for that matter since we've known about this for a year.
