#1 HT to Gateway Pundit:

Obama Admin refuses to allow release of documents:
The Scottish government told FOX News Tuesday that the U.S. government refuses to allow them to release details of any communication between Scotland and the U.S. over al-Megrahi's release.

A source with the Scottish government, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the demand was made in a letter sent Tuesday from U.S. Embassy Chief of Mission Richard LeBaron.

#4 seeing as the govt of Scotland is still disputing with the govt of UK exactly what their communications meant, I doubt whats in the US comms is any more incriminating. Probably something along the lines of "we do want to improve relations with Libya" "we recognize your right to follow your law" and "He will get a heros welcome, and releasing him is dumb" Admin is playing up the last, so Scotland wants to show they said the other things.
