The Obama administration’s request for Libya to return the Lockerbie bomber to a Scottish prison is a lot of phony baloney. Libya is not about to return the bomber and Obama damn well knows it. This is just an exercise in futility designed to curry favor with the Flight 103 families and the American public.
OBAMA CALLS FOR LOCKERBIE BOMBER TO BE RETURNED TO JAIL IN SCOTLAND

August 21, 2010
The Obama administration has condemned the decision to release the Lockerbie bomber and called for him to be sent back to a Scottish jail.
The US president's office said it had advised Libyan officials of its view that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi should not be free.
Barack Obama's counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan criticised the 'unfortunate and inappropriate and wrong decision' yesterday, the first anniversary of the bomber's release from Greenock prison on compassionate grounds.
He said: 'We've expressed our strong conviction that Al Megrahi should serve out the remainder - the entirety - of his sentence in a Scottish prison.'
The bomber returned to jubilant scenes in Libya on August 20 last year where he remains alive - despite being given three months to live at the time.
Megrahi is the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland, in which 270 people died - most of them Americans.
