WASHINGTON: US secretary of state Hillary Clinton has urged British and Scottish authorities to review the decision last year to release the only person convicted for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am airliner.

Clinton said in a letter to senators angry over the release of Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi that she has communicated the US position to her British counterpart, William Hague, the state department said Monday.

"We are encouraging the Scottish and British authorities to review again the underlying facts and circumstances leading to the release of al-Megrahi and to consider any new information that has come to light since his release," she said in the letter.

Scottish authorities, who had jurisdiction over the case, released al-Megrahi in August 2009 on humanitarian grounds. He was suffering from cancer and at the time doctors believed he had only three months to live. He is still alive.

NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY NOT GUILTY

And it was the Iranians who blew Pan Am 800 out of the sky for revenge for U.S. blowing one of their passenger flights out of the sky. But by the time we got around to finding otr that they did it. We needed the Iranians to keep Saddam in check. Oh Shit.

So we blamed the Lybians who weren't much in the way of cooperating back then until they were so we let the guy go for some contracts.

I have an idea. Let the guy present his evidence like he wanted to and see. Because he was just about to get a hearing when they mysteriously found he had cancer and let him go.:shrug:
