I'm pulling back on my own reins and concentrate on other stuff for a bit, like maybe debauchery in the Bonfire or...oh my God, skydiving, which I've made some jumps this summer, but I really need to...well, jump and hang at the DZ when time offers me that chance.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

quade 4 #2 July 25, 2010 So a paper in Australia is reporting that a paper in the UK owned by Rupert Murdock has a letter obtained by a "high placed" but unnamed source claiming Richard LeBaron "wrote that the US wanted Megrahi to remain imprisoned in view of the nature of the crime." The note added: "Nevertheless, if Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from Scottish custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer, which we strongly oppose." So . . . you're getting excited about a Deputy Ambassador type leaving options open for another county and opposing a prisoner transfer. O . . . M . . . G. That is quite shocking. I'm sure this will bring down the Obama Administration completely. From the same article; Quote The US administration lobbied the Scottish government more strongly against sending Megrahi home, under a prisoner transfer agreement signed by the British and Libyan governments, in a deal now known to have been linked to a pound stg. 550 million oil contract for BP. The US opposed sending him home.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised Obama could find the time, what with coordinating a Mexican invasion of Laredo, Texas and organizing a conspiracy of all mainstream news outlets to cover it up, faking birth certificates, eating kittens etc....
