Conservative American Ken Blackwell wants to know. Every American should want to know. Did the White House, did President Obama himself, give the green light to a British deal to release the Lockerbie bomber?
Blackwell was a leading candidate for RNC chair and would have been a better choice than Michael Steele. He’s written an Op-Ed for Fox News in which he asks the question…
Did Gordon Brown get a green light from the Obama administration to let this convicted murderer go “scot free?” Did the British government even consult with Washington before taking this despicable action? What does this discreditable affair say about the “special relationship” that has existed for a century between Great Britain and the United States? We are only seven months into this new administration. The early indications are not good that we have a seasoned and serious team manning the helm of the ship of state. For the sake of the country we all serve, let’s pray they learn quickly.
It’s a fair question. Why would the brits do this without talking to Washington first? Aren’t they supposed to be our strongest and greatest ally? Or did that change too, under Obama? Isn’t it much more likely that they did, in fact, consult with and talk to Team Obama before making this move?

From Blackwell’s Op-Ed:
“By now we all know that the Obama administration would prefer to call the War on Terror an “overseas contingency operation.” And they’d prefer to pursue CIA interrogators more than they’d like to go after terrorists.
All of this is in keeping with their September 10 mindset. They want to return us to the way the Clinton administration viewed terrorism– as a problem of criminal law enforcement, not something to be prosecuted as a war. This, despite the fact that Usama bin Laden took advantage of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to declare war on the United States. And despite the fact that Saddam Hussein used the distraction of the Clinton’s domestic troubles to boot U.N. arms inspectors out of Iraq.
So did Obama know about this? Will reporters ask him directly? Did he approve it? Does he think this is a just and fair way to handle this “criminal?” What do YOU think?
