On Pajamas Media, Joe Hicks highlights just how chillingly Machiavellian (‘Orwellian’ would equally apply) governments become when they don’t factor morality into their political calculus:

Known to the world as simply the “Lockerbie bomber,” [Abdel Basset] al-Magrahi was the only person convicted of blowing up Pan Am Flight 103, a Boeing 747 that had 259 passengers on board and was bound for New York from London.

Last year, Jack Straw, then the justice secretary for the British government, admitted that trade and oil agreements were an important part of that government’s decision to set al-Magrahi free.

… the United Kingdom has released all documents leading up to the release of the Lockerbie bomber, but the U.S. documents remain classified. What’s Obama hiding?

Come on, Joe, we all know the President has nothing to hide.
