This week brought us a remarkable disclosure by BP.
They admitted to lobbying the Scottish government on behalf of Libya to obtain a prisoner release in return for BP securing drilling rights off the Libyan.
True to form, BP denied any knowledge of, or involvement in, the July, 2009 release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Libyan Intelligence officer found guilty of planting the bomb that tore apart Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.
If BP’s drilling deal with Libya wasn’t tied to the release of Mr. Megrahi, than what Libyan National incarcerated in a Scottish jail was a more important commodity to the Libyan government?
The possibility that BP was paid in oil for the release of a mass murderer does not require a wild conspiratorial giant step to infer. In fact, it's a probability, and an investigation should be demanded.
Yet, Prime Minister Cameron is stone-walling any investigation.
Cameron's refusal to act is a slap in the face, not only to the President and American people, but to surviving family members of Mr. Megrahi’s victims and the rule of law, itself.
Allow me to put Mr. Megrahi's crime into stark perspective.
Now more than ever, it's a story every American needs to read.
