What Bullcrap

[MartyZee]

Kill 270 people-spend 8 years in jail-compassionate release-did he give a shit who he killed-may you rot in hell -does anyone associated with his release have compassion for the victims' families? The bastard is going to get a hero's welcome in Libya-

They should just blow up the plane they send him home on...deal done.

Interesting answer and probably the correct one.

I never get this "compassionate grounds" nonsense for terrorists or mass murderers bullshit. I feel exactly the same about the guards, commandants and designers of the concentration camps of WWII. Pursue them until they take their last breath, imprison them (if you're not going to execute them) and throw away the key.

I don't give a damn whether they're 85. Every young scumball mass murderer/terrorist around the world should know that they will be pursued forever.

How about asking the 270 families whether THEY want this guy released you Scottish wanker ?

Why destroy a perfectly good plane . Simply open the door on take-off and throw the bastard out .

Many of the UK families are not even convinced we have imprisoned the right one. Many more must have been involved and the second defendant offered was found not guilty. The "compassion" is not for the crime it shows that society can still act in a humanitarian and benign way even for the most atrocious deeds. Which is what a country founded on Christianity does.

"News of his (potential) release provoked a split among bereaved families. While many of the British relatives of those killed have doubts about the extent of Megrahi's guilt and support his being freed, a number of US families who lost loved ones expressed outrage at the prospect.

However, many British families believe Megrahi is innocent. The Libyan was part-way through an appeal against his 2001 conviction, at a trial held in the Netherlands heard under Scottish law.

Pamela Dix, from UK Families Flight 103, said there had been a "lack of justice" for those killed in the tragedy.

Dix, whose brother Peter was killed in the atrocity, told BBC2's Newsnight she was "baffled" by much of the evidence in the trial that led to Megrahi's conviction.

Dix, said last night it was still far from clear whether Megrahi was innocent or guilty since the trial had left so many unanswered questions.

"Almost 21 years after the Lockerbie bombing, I would expect to know who did it, why they did it and how they did it. Instead, we're left in the situation of really knowing very little about what happened."

Dr Jim Swire, who lost his 23-year-old daughter Flora, said it would be to Scotland's credit if the Libyan was released. "I am someone who does not believe he is guilty," he said. "The sooner he is back with his family the better.

"On reasonable human grounds it is the right thing to do and if it's true that he is to be returned on compassionate grounds then that would be more to Scotland's credit than returning him under the prisoner transfer agreement.

Martin Cadman, who lost his son Bill, aged 32, in the disaster, agreed.

"I hope it is true as it's something we've been wanting for a long time," he said.

"I think he is innocent and even if he were not innocent I still think it's certainly the right thing to do on compassionate grounds."

The Rev John Mosey, who lost his 19-year-old daughter, Helga, called the decision "incredibly frustrating" but not unexpected. "The relatives of those who died have been denied access to the evidence that was uncovered by a three-year investigation by the Scottish criminal cases review commission. Unfortunately it is what we expected from the beginning because the authorities – in Scotland, London and Washington – do not want any more information on this coming out."

Jean Berkley, whose son Alistair died in the bombing, agreed the decision was a blow but said the focus would now shift to getting a full independent inquiry. "The families are used to setbacks so we will continue the campaign, but this is difficult because people set lots of store by the appeal and now we are not going to hear the evidence that persuaded the [commission] to grant the hearing in the first place." Alistair's brother, Matt, said: "Many people with a deep understanding of this case have serious concerns about it which are unlikely to go away."

dirty linens and gvts not wanting to air???.

If, they cut him loose you gotta ask yourself, why , given the easy and politically safe course of letting him rot, they want to quash the appeal?

ddog,

More comment about the problems of the conviction here.
CIA and FBI accused of bribing witnesses.
No comfort at all for the families seeking justice.

"After conducting an exhaustive three-year review of the case, the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission reported in June 2007 there may have been a miscarriage of justice in Megrahi's case.
Insiders claim there is fresh evidence implicating an extremist Palestinian terror group which had financial backing from Iran. "

Would that be considered rationing health care?

Another great policy out of Europe

BTW, why would anyone in this country want to emulate any of the policies over there? Excuse me, this country was built by people who wanted to get the hell out of there.

[ddog]

You sure this is OUT OF EUROPE?

If there is/was a deal - this guy for something was it worth it?

1 guy that MAY HAVE been guilty of murder of a couple of 100 v ??????


Maybe a good deal?

If the SOB has cancer, they should pour vinegar on it everyday! They should be torturing him just for practice.

This is why we should always kill terrorists on the spot - slit their throats and bleed them out. No trials, no jail. Kill the bastards and feed them to the pigs.

Scotland has a stain on it today that will never come out.
