Lockerbie Bomber Released

[xxMATTGxx]

Litte More:

"Foreign Secretary David Miliband has said he found the celebratory welcome in Libya of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing "deeply distressing".

[-Heart]

This is just disgusting. ******* disgusting.

I hope somebody goes up to this man and shoots him. Shoots him between the eyes. I hope he burns in hell.

Good on him, and good on MacAskill for having the balls to make the decision.

His conviction was completely unsafe, a political conviction to say the least. The real perpetrators were more than likely Iranian (in response to the USA earlier downing an Iranian airliner killing 290 civillians), as first leads initially suggested, but for some reason Libya, and in particular al-Mehrahi, were made the scapegoats. Just goes to show how International Courts are controlled by the West and the partisan.

As for the US complaining about the support he received upon his return, hypocrites of the highest order. After successfully downing the Iranian airliner, USS Vincennes returned to San Diego as heroes and the crew awarded combat action medals for "quickly and precisely completing the firing procedure".

Ah I was gonna make a thread on this a few days ago, didn't know there was one. It's disgusting that he's been released, especially on "compassionate grounds" when he didn't show any compassion to the people he killed.

I wish people would stop saying they regret "Scotland's decision" they didn't bloody poll us all and ask us what to flamin well do, it was one man's decision.

Kenny MacAskill is a man who knows what he's doing, there was obviously reasons for him doing it. People said he caved in, I don't see that at all. Caving in would have been doing what would probably have been an easier thing to do and just leave him in prison. It was a very brave thing to do to make that decision.
Yes of course it is a TERRIBLE thing he did, and don't bloody well try and say for one minute that I feel sorry for the guy, but I can't see how this should do Scotland any harm. If anything, maybe put the UK in a better light in the eyes of a country that has terrorists.

Robert Mueller's comment that it's given comfort to terrorists around the world is ridiculous.
I'm so angry at all this, hullabaloo indeed!

How very constructive of you.

I personally think the conviction is irrelevant, the only relevant bit is "Guilty". He went through the courts process and it came out "Guilty" so that's how he should be treated and no other way. If he didn't commit the crime he's failed to provide convincing evidence of this in his appeals and the original court case. He may now have evidence and he should of by all means appealed to clear his name. However he shouldn't be released on compassionate grounds because his conviction is a bit woeful, he is convicted, end of.

It also doesn't mean that Libya should celebrate the homecoming of a convicted criminal just because the Americans did. It doesn't make it right that Libya should act in this way otherwise it's just another "eye for an eye" situation.

But it was Scotland's decision.. It was your government, your country, therefore, Scotland's decision....

So you are saying that all Scottish people are to blame?
