It seems that these guys are going with the best player available in the first round and looking at needs further down the line. We'll see about Clausen.

Ok, where does it say Obama was behind his release? Read again. The Obama administration was against the release of the prisoner at all, but if he was going to be released anyway they would rather seen it done for a compassionate reason. I want to see those who criticize Obama for expressing an opinion on what type of release it should be, even though he was dead set against it, rationalize their support of BP trying to grease the wheels of his release. Link Days after Britain and Libya concluded the transfer agreement, Libya and BP signed a deal the company called "the single biggest exploration financial commitment an international energy company has ever made to Libya." But Britain and BP have denied that Megrahi's release had any part of the negotiations. "It is a matter of public record that in late 2007 BP discussed with the UK government our concern at the slow progress in concluding a prisoner transfer agreement with Libya," BP spokesman Toby Odone said Monday. "Like many others we were aware that a delay might have negative consequences for UK commercial interests, including ratification of BP's exploration agreement. "However, we did not express a view about the specific form of the agreement, which was a matter for the UK and Libyan governments, or make representations over the al Megrahi case, which was solely a matter for the Scottish Executive and not for the UK government."

This is the first time I've heard about this so I don't know all of the background but they could still have known about his release and yet be surprised that the British Government went through with it. It's semantics but it's not a huge sin.

Speaking to Sky News today, Mr Salmond said: ''I think a fair description of the American Government's position is that they didn't want al-Megrahi to be released. ''However, if he was to be released, they thought it was far preferable for compassionate release as opposed to the prisoner transfer agreement.'' BBM

I agree with you. His release disgusts me but the article YOU linked says they were always against his release. I want to see what those who defend BP on this issue have to say about this.

According to the article all the administration did is say that if they were going to release him (they were against his release) they'd prefer it be done on a humanitarian grounds. I don't see what the problem is. They never said they wanted him released, at least according to this article. There are people here who think it's perfectly ok for BP to get involved in his transfer but I suspect many of them will criticize Obama for this.

How about going to a thread that offers a real chance to win? Like, hmmmmm, ummmmm, perhaps this one.

Where in the article does it say that Obama was behind his release?

Well it should be interesting to see how our ultra conservative friends react to this. This will be very, very funny I think. (Grabbing Popcorn and a soda.)

Anyone who's ever worked retail, IMO, would love to have the authority to tell people to go themselves.

Pictures of kids from 2-10?!

If you stopped posting negative crap you wouldn't post ever,

That lasted two minutes.

Why would you start bathing just because you got money? "Chicks that would double up on a dude like me would" I also have to for not saying I'd buy the Bills. However, I might instead buy the Cowboys and get rid of Jerrah, I only care about myself, Jones and help keep revenue sharing a part of the NFL.

What he said. You do know they cut him before the season last year, right?

They are a bonus feature on one of the DVD sets.

I'd like to see the seven wonders and start a charity.

A brief lead, but it was not to be.

No, I've posted the actual clip before. The Seinamation is funny too and a lot here have probably never seen it before.

Hole in one.

Wanda: Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked them up.

The video at that link wouldn't play for me so here's a Youtube link; It is very awesome!

That's Kevin Kline and they've been married since 1989. He's sixteen years older than she is. Kevin Kline's best performance was Otto West in "A Fish Called Wanda" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ6ssVFwPII NSFW:
