'We are getting married in Libya'

EDINBURGH, Scotland — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is facing accuations of "double-dealing" after confidential documents were released on Tuesday revealing that Libya was told Brown wanted the Lockerbie bomber to die a free man.
"We did not want him to die in prison, no, we weren't seeking his death in prison," Miliband said.
Al-Megrahi, 57, was the only person convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people. Scotland freed him on compassionate grounds Aug. 20 after doctors said he had terminal cancer.
U.S. Justice Department spokesman Richard Kolko said Tuesday that his department had "received assurances in the 1990s that al-Megrahi's full sentence would be served in Scotland."
Britain has growing economic interests in Libya — from oil exploration to financial services. Last year, British imports from Libya topped some $1.6 billion.

...in other news, lockerbie victims died in dirt.
Then they should have just taken him outside the prison gates and shot him. Like a dog. In the dirt.
Brown Didn’t Want Lockerbie Bomber to Die in Jail,

Relatives Didn’t Want Lockerbie Bomber Victims to Die in Plane ...
Wait a minute. The man (and I use the term loosely) was sentneanced to life in prison. As such, it was expected that his sentence would not end until his life did. Hence, he was supposed to die in prison.
Damn politicians have no clue.
when the O-dude snubbed the queen, and britain repeatedly, they had every right to snub us back. I disagree with letting this guy go, but how can we continue to insult our allies, then extect them to stick their necks out for us?

Agreed
Really??? It wasn’t just Americans that died on that Pan-Am flight. Brown was’t snubbing us, he was pissing on the memory of all those that died in that crash. As far as Ozero’s childish behaviour goes, does that justify letting a mass murderer go and then lying by calling it compassion when in reality it was an oil deal between two whores.
standing neck deep in a pork processing plant waste pit.
The Brits used to hang Jewish Irgun “terrorists” from trees after 30 min trials when they occupied Israel. Now they can’t even stomach letting a Muslim mass-murderer die in prison?
Scotland did not release the murderer without a ‘wink’ from Obama.I t will come out someday.
Heck, story is now that the bomber may not have cancer after all, let alone die in a few months.... And it seems that Eric Holder knew in June he’d be released.
Their objective is obviously “TERRORISTS FOR OIL”.
Still, that sounds so vindictive. I mean, kill a few hundred people and just because of that, they die in jail. It’s simply beastly, you know. That’s what I told mummy at tea yesterday. It sounded simply beastly, when there are so many billions to be made by freeing him. My dog told me to do it, and I agreed. So blame him. It wasn’t my idea.
Well, you see, he’s not Jewish, so that’s a different matter. Jews from trees and all that, why that’s understandable. They poison well waters, make pacts with Satan and all that. But a Muslim is a human being, after all.
I doubt he was let free just as a means of counter-snubbing the US, but no doubt it was a side benefit...
The tragedy of mankind is that we forget. “Yes I know this person murdered, but it was all a long time ago and he’s a changed man now. He’s reformed/dying/his father/mother/cat is ill (delete as applicable)” You hear it all the time. And when the families of the victims protest they are made out to be cruel and heartless and guilty of bearing grudges!
The same thing happened with Myra Hindley, the Moors murdereress (look it up if you haven’t heard of her). That had a different ending, but purely because some of the families made it clear they wouldn’t stand for it.
