Don't release the Libyan terrorist who bombed Pan Am Flight 103. Let him die in prison for the comfort of his victims.

A final decision on whether the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing will be allowed to return to Libya is expected early next week, but the United States today warned that it would be against such a move.
The Scottish justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, however, is thought to have decided in principle to send Abdelbasset al-Megrahi, who was convicted in 2001 of killing 270 people in the bomb attack on Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland in December 1988, back to Libya.
MacAskill is expected to get a final report from his officials by Monday on whether to set Megrahi free on compassionate grounds, because his terminal prostate cancer is now at an advanced and final stage, or to transfer him to Libya to serve the rest of his 27-year minimum sentence there.
It is understood that justice department officials believe there is a powerful case in favour of granting Megrahi early release. Megrahi's supporters say he has only a few months to live and other sources say MacAskill has been given compelling medical evidence about the Libyan's health.
However, Scottish ministers faced renewed demands today from the US government, opposition politicians and the relatives of American victims of the attack for Megrahi to remain in Greenock prison.

Yes, Arlen, this is Scottish law.
I say take him up to 35,000 feet and toss him out.
I say... ‘grab him’ when they turn him loose, then, kick him in the prostate cancer until he succumbs. Then shoot his nasty carcus out of a cannon... at some terrorists.
Latest news I have is that he IS to be sent back to Libya. Apparently he is not long for this world, and I suspect he may be in for some difficulties in the next.
Frankly, I’d rather “Gadafti” pay for his care than the long-suffering British taxpayer.
