Obama to Qaddafi: “Please, may we have our terrorist back?”

Scotland (with at least the tacit approval of London, Gordon Brown’s denials notwithstanding) released convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset Ali al-Megrahi, ostensibly on compassionate grounds and let him return to Libya. At the time, it was claimed, he had just six months to live.

A year later, he’s doing fine, living in a luxury villa in Tripoli.

And, a year after “compassionate grounds” turned out to be a heartless joke played on the relatives of those who died in Megrahi’s act of mass murder, the Obama Administration is asking Libya to –pretty please!send Megrahi back to a Scottish jail:

The Obama administration asked Friday that the only person convicted for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 be returned to a Scottish prison.

John Brennan, President Barack Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, told reporters accompanying the vacationing leader that the U.S. has “expressed our strong conviction” to Scottish officials that Abdel Baset Al-Megrahi … should not remain free. The comments came on the first anniversary of Al-Megrahi’s release.

Brennan criticized what he termed the “unfortunate and inappropriate and wrong decision,” and added: “We’ve expressed our strong conviction that Al-Begrahi (sic) should serve out the remainder – the entirety – of his sentence in a Scottish prison.”

Oh, yeah. I’m sure Libyan dictator “Daffy” Qaddafi will get right on it.

Just as soon as he’s done laughing at us.

Smart power” strikes again.
