The government of Scotland has decided to release convicted Lockerbie terrorist bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi on "compassionate grounds."
The government of the United Kingdom has washed its hands of the entire affair, allowing the Scottish government total freedom in taking this perfidious action against the families of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103.
The actions of the Scottish government are inexcusable. A man who is responsible for the mass murder of 270 innocent civilians must be held accountable for such a cold blooded and ruthless act. Freeing a terrorist in order to further ties with the tyrannical Libyan regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi and to further the commercial interests of British Petroleum in that region is repulsive and sickening.
Unless the Scottish government rescinds this decision to release al-Megrahi, and if the British Parliament continues to avoid intervening in the matter, we urge all Americans to protest this action by boycotting the United Kingdom and Scotland in full. Don't travel to Scotland or do business there (or in the United Kingdom in general) and don't buy any British or Scottish products.
Most especially after the horrific events of 9/11, the world needs to be reminded that terrorism must be punished and never rewarded. Terrorists must never be shown compassion or mercy, for these people have no respect for human life. The British, who ironically have themselves been victim to numerous acts of terrorism on their own soil, seem to have forgotten. They need a reminder, and protesting by boycotting travel and business with Scotland and the United Kingdom is the best way of doing so.

Release him at 10,000 feet.
Well said!! He certainly didn’t have any compassion for those he murdered. When freed he’ll just go back to the middle east and train others for as long as he can. But given the liberal prisons over there, yes, they even pay prisoners to play chess, what can you expect? Just more victims down the road.
Compassion for a terrorist?
He murdered innocent people.
He is deserving of nothing but disdain and should be kept locked up or killed.
Including this one. Eleven dead on the ground and many in the plane itself. The article writer's attempt to airbrush the British dead from this disaster from history makes me ill.
Dear Kyle,
As a Scotsman, I am angry and sorry for the idiotic decision made today by the Scottish Govt. They do not speak for the majority of Scots, or British people.
I understand your boycott. I can only hope that you also see that we are despite today a good and decent people.
Thank you.
‘the scotsman’
This is a prime example why we need “wet” agents in the CIA:
He gets released, he gets his life ended post haste.

Yep, the only way that works is if he’s released at the flight level of Flight 103, sans chute.
“Gee... It sure would be too bad if he was to have some kinda accident or sumtin’. “
True. I do not believe this decision reflects the position of the good people of Scotland. What equates to 2 weeks of jail time for every life taken by this act is something I will never understand.
I save give Grounds Keeper Willy 2 minutes alone with the guy.
Then, the UK ambassador should be called in to the White House, and executed in the fashion deemed most suitible at the moment.
The Scottish government is “Thinkin’ with it’s Dipstick, Jimmy”
I agree this guy should be locked up until he croaks.
