the world sucks when all the big people are spineless.
The good folks of Scotland should be ashamed of their govt.
For shame.
I’m more troubled by the big reception in Libya than I am in the release. This means the crazy in Libya is feeling his oats again. He had gotten quiet after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.....he apparently thinks us impotent again.
..why was a man who was sentenced to die in jail released to die somewhere else?
Who cares if he is sick? - his victims?
The best part of the Scots people left centuries ago for America. What remained in Scotland might as well be French.
On an earlier post about this outrage, a poster asked the question of what would Reagan have done. I didn’t respond in that thread but after further thought, I think he might have arranged for a special greeting at the airport in Libya. In my fantasy, it would have been shiny and gold and delivered at about 2800 fps...that’s the definition of a “terminal illness”.
Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, believed to have less than three months to live, was released on the order of Scotland’s justice minister despite strong opposition from the United States, which had campaigned to keep him in prison.
“He is a dying man, he is terminally ill,” Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill told reporters in explanation. “My decision is that he returns home to die.”

You knew something like this was going to happen when the U.S. allowed the trial to be held in Scotland. The U.S. also suppressed all law suits by the Lockerbie victims against the govt of Libya — all done in the name of trade.
The most ignorant person in any cuntry could have predicted this guy returning to a hero’s welcome.
IMO the guy who is responsible for turning him loose should be fired immediately.
This is great, they release the guy back to the terrorist sympathizing country he comes from
THEN they decide to talk about what they did..
WTF were they thinking in the first place.
Gadhafi welcomes the mass murderer back to his loony bin; Castro welcomes Elian Gonzales, whose mother gave her life for his freedom, back to the gulag, and now a Communist, Chicago thug, Muslin Kenyan sits in our White House.
Can anyone doubt that the wicked run this world?

As someone of Scottish ancestry who lived in Edinburgh for a while years back I am deeply ashamed of my ancestral homeland.
