Judicial Watch Sues FBI Over Megrahi Files

Seems like this is newsworthy here in the states, but nobody in the media seems the least bit interested.

The FBI is being taken to court in the US over its refusal to release documents relating to the release of the Libyan convicted of the Lockerbie bombing.

Judicial Watch, a conservative pressure group that campaigns for transparency, fights government corruption and was opposed to the early release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi last August, has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suit in the US to obtain important papers relating to the decision to allow him to return to Libya.

The watchdog said it wanted to shed light on what role, if any, the US had in his release.

It made the request in September 10, 2009 and says that, by law, the FBI was required to respond by October 8. However, the group said that the FBI, while acknowledging receipt of the request, provide neither documents nor any explanation as to why they had been withheld.

Legal documents lodged with the US District Court for the District of Columbia claim the FBI “violated the FOIA by failing to produce any and all non-exempt records”.

The news comes after The Herald revealed that vital documents in Britain relating to the Lockerbie conviction may never see the light of day.

Curiously the reason given in the UK was this maggot had less than three months to live.

That was nearly six months ago. Probably the only ones surprised by this are the pinheads who released him.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said: “Not only was the decision to release Megrahi from prison an affront to justice and an insult to the families of the victims of the Pan Am tragedy, but it also served to rally terrorists around the world.

“And given the fact that most of the people on board that flight were Americans, we deserve to know what the US Government knew about this horrible decision to release a known terrorist from prison.

“The FBI has an obligation to the American people and the victims’ families to release all relevant documents as soon as possible.

“Frankly, given its lackadaisical and ideological approach to the terrorist threat, I’m concerned the Obama administration did not do enough to prevent this terrorist’s release.”

'You Get That Lump in Your Throat and You Feel Like You're Going to Throw Up'

I get that same feeling every day watching Team Obama and their Smart Diplomacy in action. Or should we call it inaction?

Some stared at their televisions in disbelief. Others were too furious to process the news.

More than two decades after a terrorist bomb blew a Pan Am jetliner out of the sky, victims' relatives watched in anger as the only man ever convicted in the attack boarded another flight to his freedom in Libya.

"This is not fair to the families," said Stan Maslowski, whose 30-year-old daughter Diane was returning from London for Christmas when Flight 103 went down on Dec. 21, 1988. "This shows a terrorist can get away with murder."

Maslowski and his wife, Norma, turned on the TV at their Haddonfield home to watch the developments with Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. "You get that lump in your throat and you feel like you're going to throw up," Norma Maslowski said.

Al-Megrahi was released Thursday after serving eight years of a minimum 27-year sentence in Scottish prison. Scottish officials said the former Libyan intelligence officer has advanced prostate cancer and was given only months to live. They said they were bound by Scottish values to release him.

"It's appalling, disgusting and so sickening I can hardly find words to describe it," said Susan Cohen, of Cape May Court House, N.J., whose 20-year-old daughter Theodora died in the attack. "Lockerbie looks like it never happened now — there isn't anybody in prison for it."

Terrorists around the globe are celebrating today. Can you blame them?

Sad to say, this was all too predictable.

Goldie Hawn, Zionist Infidel

Major props to actress Goldie Hawn for showing her support for Israel at a fundraiser in Scotland.

Naturally, some pro-terrorist whiners were there to protest.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators beat drums and sounded horns outside a Jewish fund-raising event in Glasgow attended by Hollywood star Goldie Hawn.

The actress addressed about 500 guests at the KKL Scotland dinner, held at the Hilton Hotel in William Street, as about 150 people protested outside.

The 61-year-old star was drafted in to speak at the £125-per-head event after actor Michael Douglas pulled out.

There was a heavy police presence at the venue but no arrests.

The demonstrators were believed to be from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

A spokesperson for Strathclyde Police said: "There were about 150 demonstrators involved in a protest.

"The event is being policed appropriately and there are no ongoing problems."

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign claims the Jewish National Fund is (what else?) racist.

Even planting trees apparently oppresses the poor Palis.
