Just so readers don’t think this is a single issue, anti-Obama administration blog, I thought I’d comment on the yesterday’s release from prison in Scotland of Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the mastermind of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.  Al Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal prostate cancer and reportedly has only 3 months to live, was released from prison and returned to a hero’s welcome in his native Libya.  Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill cited compassionate grounds for the release, saying al Megrahi was “going home to die.”

This is a travesty!!  Did the 270 people he murdered have an opportunity to “go home to die”?  Absolutely not.  Many of the victims were  college kids (from Syracuse, I believe) who were returning home for Christmas.  Did their parents have an opportunity to say good-by to them?

Did this man ever show remorse, ever admit to his crime?  NO!  Why should Scotland show compassion to this man after he show no compassion or remorse for his 270 victims?  I say he should have rotted in prison until his death whereupon he will likely rot in hell.

ps.   I was pleased to hear the President issue a statement against this release.  However, I found Atty. General Eric Holder’s statement that he was “deeply disappointed”  in the release rings a little hollow after his role in the pardon of the FALN terrorists who blew up a NYC restaurant, killing 4 people.  (I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it!)
