I doubt his bed will hold much comfort if it makes you feel any better. Nicely put. I agree.The Scottish government has done the right thing IMO Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

I would want him to remain imprisoned but I appreciate the spirit of the Scottish government wanting to honor humanitarianism. 2009: Mermaids and Dolphins... | |

Charles Manson disciple and Sharon Tate's killer Susan Atkins has brain cancer and asked for release to die at home, but she was denied and will remain in prison till her dying breath.

I'm not sure if I've ever agreed with Supa before 
Well atleast the first part. I don't know if a man that was part of blowing 270 people to bits deserves any "humanitarianism" | |

I think that people forget too easily that when individuals do terrible things to other people, it isn't just the family of the victims whom suffer. The families of the perpetrators also suffer.

I am sure that the families of the Lockerbie Flight 103 are ticked,but the release of this man is the right thing to do. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara | |

He killed 270 people. He served 8 years of a life sentence. He's been released to go home so he can die a free man. He has 3 months left to live from a terminal form of prostate cancer. My opinion is that he should be serving the rest of his life in prison. Why should someone who's committed such a terrible crime against innocent people be allowed to die in the comforts of his own bed? I know this sounds awfully mean of me, but if I had family members on that flight, I would be livid. [Edited 8/20/09 8:43am] Obama warned Libya not to give him a hero's welcome.
Despite the warning, at the military airport in Tripoli where al-Megrahi's plane touched down, thousands of youths were on hand to warmly greet him. He left the plane wearing a dark suit and a tie and accompanied by Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi. They immediately sped off in a convoy of all-white vehicles. ... But many in Libya view his homecoming as a moral victory for the African country and an end to a long-standing humiliation at the hands of the West. They say Libya was forced to surrender al-Megrahi to end years of crippling sanctions. 
from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...terrorism/ they just poked obama with a screw-you stick.  huh | |

N by releasing him Scotland doesn't have to pay his medical bills. "...I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love...with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night I will steal away into your home...and punch you in the face!" | |

How is this fair? How is this the right thing to do? Where is the compassion shown for the 273 people he killed? God DAMN there are a lot of dumb motherfuckers walking around! - George Carlin

But you know everyone on that plane does? And none of us will ever know how many, if any, of those people on that plane would've gone on to die in their bed. We don't that but for that bomb that the plane would've even reached its destination. It could have gone down by an "act of God." Are they less deserving of dying in their beds with their loved ones around the but for being killed by an act of God, than by a terrorist? | |

You can't show compassion for someone unless they show you compassion first? What are you seeking to balance here? One life cannot be exchanged for 273. He will only die once. I'd give him the only thing I can. Forgiveness. | |

Hi there, i just read an article in a (german) newspaper: it seems that there are clear doubts about the guilt of this man. Some say he was just a scapegoat and the CIA even manipulated some of the evidences...? The men wanted another 'appeals procedure' (is that the right word...?) which is now beeing stopped cause he got released.....

I dont like the welcome he has received in Libya-its sick. But what concerns me more is the response of Obama etc that they didnt want him released. I dont believe thsi for a minute. This man was handed over to be imprisoned simly to open trade between libya and the west. A single man in prison for this act is an absolute joke. Whether he is guilty or not he is at the very least a tolkenistic jesture to appease the rage of the lockerbie disaster.

Theere is no way the US is not behind this. There must be an agreement that the UK government take the rap for his release. This is an International incident and the UK Government could not make this decision on its own The U.S. is not behind this. This is not an international incident. The man was being held by a national government, not the ICC or The Hague. The U.K is certainly capable of making decisions on its own. It's not like they're campaigning to be the 51st state or something. | |

I hear ya, Vendetta. But sometimes, you gotta just take the high road and do the right thing, which in this case was letting a dying man go. Where the compassion for the 273 people killed? Well the families are getting compensation payments,most governments don't even do that. I think about the 1973 incident in which a Libyan airline was shot down by Israel, killing 108 people. Israel never had to pay a dime. Never admitted to the shooting and was never even called on the carpet for that incident. Or in 1988, when one of our ships, The Vinsennes, shot at and hit an Iranian airline with 292 civilian passengers on board, killing those 292 passengers....where was the compassion? Scotland did the right thing by letting this man go. “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist.” Brazilian bishop Dom Hélder Câmara | |

Exactly!! I bet the families of the victims were even more furious.
Timing 
Anywho.... interesting to see what happened when he arrived back home.  We should just let every person in jail out when they are about to die.  God DAMN there are a lot of dumb motherfuckers walking around! - George Carlin

I know, now everyone that is serving life in prison will want out when/if they get a life threatening illness. I am sure it was a political move (oil) possibly. ~Try the Alternative~ | |
