In 2001, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, a Libyan, was convicted of involvement in the bombing and sentenced to life imprisonment. On 20 August 2009, the Scottish Government released him on compassionate grounds to return to Libya as he was suffering from terminal prostate cancer and had a life expectancy of less than 3 months.
The dude got a life sentence; why is it a surprise to the Scots that he would have died in prison?
This is so stupid – I feel badly for the families and friends of the people that were murdered on that plane; it’s got to be like having to relive the whole thing over again.
Our own government has released a bunch of terrorists that had been imprisoned in Guantanemo. To add insult to injury, they sent some of them to Bermuda! I’m not kidding, there were pictures of them frolicking on the beach!
Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s ethics office has recommended reopening nearly a dozen cases of prisoner abuse, potentially exposing CIA employees and contractors to prosecution. The cases needed to re-opened becasue they had already been closed because nobody did anything wrong! That’s right, we’re going to prosecute CIA men/women for doing their job, protecting the United States.
This stuff just doesn’t make sense!
