    Robert Menendez is asking whistle-blowers to contact his office. The Democrat says all information will remain confidential and names won’t be disclosed without permission.

    Menendez is leading a Senate Foreign Relations Committee investigation into last year’s release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. He was allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds, because of a diagnosis of terminal cancer.

    Al-Megrahi was the only person jailed for the 1988 bombing above the Scottish town of Lockerbie, which killed 259 people onboard and 11 on the ground.

    Menendez is examining allegations that BP PLC pushed for al-Megrahi’s release to get access to Libyan oil reserves

    Why not subpoena the WH., and the State Dept. officials, as they all knew of the release in advance of the event, and gave their consent.
    When the State Sept., OKAYED the release, the messiah obama, gave his nod.
    The lame street media is just forgetting to report on the report, which is their way of codsvering the messiah.

    Hey Bobby,

    Here’s a WHISTLE for you!!!

    The WHITE HOUSE knew about it and I am sure the higher ups in CONGRESS knew about it too. All this came out a while ago but like most liberals, are a just a tad slow!

    Do you think for a second that the UK would do such a thing with an INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST without the USA knowing??? If you do, I have a few bridges to sell you.

    Why is this being debated now? Where were all the machers, when this was being discussed? The Scottish Justice Ministry officials, would never have approved the terrorist’s release, unless Downing St., and D.C. gave its approval.

    I see. It is Pres. Obama’s fault. Barry the normal statement is the “main” street media. Your statement about the “messiah” shows you listen to Sean a little too much. To LiberalismIsaDisease, you like the bookwriter you name yourself after have perfected conspiracy theory almost to the extent that the left has.
    The trouble is that Sen. Menendez is talking in the hope of political gain since he knows nothing will come of his offer.
    It is time to realize that both left and right are at fault. The left because they bowed to business interests in Libya and the right because they are those business interests.

    I call Senator Schumer to task many times, so one more time won’t hurt. He’s a high level senator in the party in power, big supporter of Obama, where is he during all this? I’m sure that the White House was in on all the dealings with this terrorist and gave the ok . Remember he was dying from cancer, only days to live. It seems that evil has the upper hand once again, because the people in positions of power allow it. We need to take back our country, and very soon. This is just one more example of which side the national leadership is on. It’s certainly not on the side of right and justice.
