"to shed some light on the troubling circumstances surrounding the early release of Abdelbasset al-Megrahi, the convicted Pan Am 103 Lockerbie bomber."

"What irony it is that this man who took these lives and, without a thought about it, planned carefully, the court decided that this was his idea and his management that brought that airplane down."

"We're absolutely--Mr. Chairman, evidenced by you and by Senator Gillibrand here and people from this committee--determined to find out."

"the release on compassionate grounds was deeply, deeply flawed, and perhaps even intentionally skewed to allow for Mr. al-Megrahi's release."
