The Libyan man jailed in Scotland for blowing up a US airliner over Lockerbie in 1988, has arrived back in Libya after being set free.
The Scottish government released Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, who is 57 and has terminal cancer, on compassionate grounds.
US President Barack Obama said the move was "a mistake", and some relatives of US victims reacted angrily.
He has apparently been greeted as a hero. noooo:
-
I agree with The Devil (http://devilskitchen.me.uk/2009/08/lockerbie-non-bomber-to-be-released.html) that he should have been released...
-
The message is that if you are a high profile prisoner and have a terminal disease then they do not want you dying in prison ( Biggs and now Al Megrahi).
However his conviction has always been dubious and based more on the fact that they had to identify someone to pin this on and pacify certain nations.
Mr Obama may be very visible in protesting about the injustice of all this but is doing very little to resolve the injustices that are continuing at Guatanemo noooo:

Americans are well known for their ludicrously vicious sentencing policies ~ E.G. 999 years FFS ~ they know that no-one will ever serve that long so why even bother to pass such a sentence.
The Yanks agreed that this man should be tried under Scottish Law ~ tough titty you bigoted arseholes. Don't start complaining now.
Then of course there is the matter of whether he actually committed the crime and there does seem to be a large element of doubt over that no matter what the court in Holland felt. Take a look at the review conducted by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (all 800 pages and four years of investigation) has to say about it.
IMHO He was offered up by the Libyans as a sacrificial goat. I think those who are not blinded by having their heads so far up their own Yankee arses can see that.

Agree, he may have been involved but there had to have been others up to and including governments. There is evidence that the Iranians were involved and remember that the the USA did shoot down an Iranian airliner only a few months earlier killing all 290 on board.

A royal visit to Libya is being reconsidered after the welcome given to the Lockerbie bomber on his return to the country, the BBC understands.
The Foreign Office is reviewing plans for Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, to meet senior figures and promote trade.
The visit - planned for early September - now seems unlikely to go ahead
What a cop out....... noooo: noooo: noooo:
What makes you think Prince Andrew just doesn't fancy going ....he prolly has another round of really tiring golf to play ::)
-
He should go, think of the bunker practice he'd get.

It's because Mrs Nick is supposed to be going with him whistle:

I should have guessed you would be mixed up in this somewhere.

Not me, Mrs Glowing Pants angel1

Chinese now?

I dreamt last night that Mrs Nick had opted for euthanasia, but that the injection kept getting delayed as she was looking at herself in a mirror all the time to say goodbye to herself.
She told me it was 'wishful thinking' eveilgrin:

The guy probably has few days to live, and so I believe that the UK and Scotland have made the right decision to release him on compassionate grounds. This will give him the opportunity to say Good Bye to his family.
I say the above because I am not entirely convinced he committed the crime and could very well have been a scape goat...
-
I bet he had a nervous flight back though!

Not compassionate grounds - he should have been released because he was innocent...

Well yes..if that is the case then he should have been released a long time ago..in fact he should not have been convicted in the first place.

Quite so...
Another unfortunate 'side effect' of the compassionate release is that there will never be an inquiry into the first trial...
-
That is a very unfortunate side effect. noooo:
But even after the man dies, surely there are grounds for an inquiry if there is sufficient doubt?
I do not know the evidence against him, or whether he is guilty or innocent. All I know is that his conviction was controversial and so there must be some grounds for doubt.

Oh how the Americans are throwing their toys out of the pram on this one noooo:
So something has happened in the world and a decision has been made that they don't like or agree with .....is Scotland to be invaded next !!!!!!
Noticeabley Weasel Brown has yet to nail his colours to the mast .......who is he fearful of offending most noooo:
-
I see that Brown is now expressing his revulsion at the jubilant scenes that greeted Megrahi. Now I apologise for my language here but what the fuck did you think was going to happen Gordon. I realise that you are a demented moron with the charm and charisma of a bucket of decomposing tripe but surely even you didn't believe that because you had asked for a low key reception they would do what you wanted.
