You are so right. We should be cutting off diplomatic ties with Libya, and telling the government of Scotland that all goods imported to the USA from Scotland, including whiskey,will have a 50% tariff.

This is UN style justice. The trial should have been held in the USA, and the POS should have been imprisoned here.

Jurisdiction was in Scotland for the trial because the flight crashed there.

We should have objected and had the trial in the USA.

BTW, there is no death penalty in Scotland.

Lesson learned.

I'd make the argument that since that a/c was in flight, it was sovereign US territory, and he could still be brought to the US for murder charges, for killing 259 people on a US aircraft.

Make that a 270% tariff, for the 270 victims.
