Barack Obama leads condemnation of Scotland for freeing Lockerbie bomber
Barack Obama led condemnation of Scotland's administration for allowing the Lockerbie bomber to return home to Libya.

Mr Cameron said: “This man was convicted of murdering 270 people, he showed no compassion to them, they weren't allowed to go home and die with their relatives in their own bed and I think this is a very bad decision."

We seem to have the same bad habit of excluding our high powered "ruleing class" from prosicution.

Clifford served as chairman of First American Bankshares, which grew to become the largest bank in Washington, D.C.[citation needed] Robert M. Morgenthau, the District Attorney for New York County (coterminus with the borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York), disclosed that his office had found evidence that the parent company of Clifford's bank was secretly controlled by BCCI. Morgenthau convened a grand jury to determine whether Clifford and his partner, Robert A. Altman, had deliberately misled federal regulators when the two men assured them that BCCI would have no outside control. An audit by Price Waterhouse revealed that contrary to agreements between First American's nominal investors and the Federal Reserve System, many of the investors had borrowed heavily from BCCI. Even more seriously, they had pledged their First American stock as collateral, and when they did not make interest payments, BCCI took control of the shares. It was later estimated that in this manner, BCCI had ended up with 60 percent or more of First American's stock.[citation needed]

Clifford's predicament worsened when it was disclosed he had made about $6 million in profits from bank stock that he had bought with an unsecured loan from BCCI.[citation needed]The grand jury handed up indictments, and the U.S. Justice Department opened its own investigation. Clifford's assets in New York City, where he kept most of his investments, were frozen.[citation needed]

Clifford insisted that he had no knowledge of illegal activity at First American, and insisted that he himself had been deceived about the extent of BCCI's involvement.[citation needed] However, both Morgenthau and federal regulators argued that Clifford should have known.[citation needed]

A "Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate," prepared by U.S. Senators John Kerry and Hank Brown, noted that a key strategy of "BCCI's successful secret acquisitions of U.S. banks in the face of regulatory suspicion was its aggressive use of a series of prominent Americans," Clifford among them.[2] Clifford, who prided himself on decades of meticulously ethical conduct, summed his predicament up when he sadly told a reporter from The New York Times, "I have a choice of either seeming stupid or venal."[citation needed]

Indictments against Clifford were set aside because of his failing health."

As soon as the indictment was set aside, Clifford was seen at some of the big social events in DC. He lived about seven more years.
