Freed Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi gets hero's welcome

DAILY NEWS ^

[navysealdad]

al-Megrahi was greeted at the airport in Tripoli by thousands of his cheering countrymen.

Loudspeakers blared patriotic music and a ceremony with the son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was said to be planned.

[brytlea]

Sickening.

[duckman]

Scottish judge wanted to show compassion. WTF?

[SlowBoat407]

Can we please bomb them again?

[AreaMan]

Should have shot that airplane out of the sky as soon as it started it’s landing approach.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We knew it

[Ben Mugged]

This is precisely why they should not have released this terrorist. Now he is the poster boy for jihad.

[brytlea]

And who didn’t know he would be? I think they should send that judge to Libya too.

[popdonnelly]

Our friends, the Libyans.

[greatplains]

Well, there’s a huge damn surprise. If everyone is lucky, that’s all that will come of it.

[Carley]

It’s the new tone set by Obama.

Liberty for terrorists and jihadists.

[thefactor]

The Libyan's!!!

[Islaminaction]

Yea Libya is our “ally”. Right.

[rightey1]

that’s exactly what I thought!

[ravingnutter]

Now, now...you know the procedure. Obummer has to send them a stern letter first ; )

[tpmintx]

It’s not like this was a warning from 1865, or 1956 or whatever!

We knew this would happen.

You don’t have to be able to see the future (or go back to the future) in order to accurately predict this.

[King Moonracer]

More Scottish Law crap, the judge must know Arlin Spector.

[Texas resident]

No kidding. Bush starts to kick ass in the Middle East and quadaffi gets in line. ozero kisses asses in the mid east and we are going to have hell to pay for that. Thanks media and your party for bring this obomination.

[LottieDah]

Who is surprised by that? I certainly am not.

[elizabethgrace]

Is this a “teaching moment”?

[george76]

Next ?

He does not have cancer ?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Then people wonder why members of the Third World feel they may, insult, mistreat and kill for the fun of it Western Christians. Further, they can invade the West with impunity. Those in positions of authority in Western countries are rapidly losing the respect of their own subjects. When the respect is finally completely gone then we will probably take them out!

[jesseam]

Human civilization is sliding into an abyss. :-(

[muawiyah]

None of this really matters. When it comes to Libya I'm pretty sure a hit job can be gotten on this guy for a few hundred "REAL US DOLLARS".

It's just a matter of someone with the bucks making contact with the local Palestinian criminal class.

[Vanders9]

Utterly. It disgusts me the way that an act of compassion, for a man who does not deserve it, is so cynically used by the Libyans.

[dynachrome]

Thanks to George76 for da ping! Read the story, freep the poll!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Nice job Mr. MacAlister!

[USAHOME]

Here’s where it is when I just voted:

Poll Results

Thank you for voting.

Did the Scottish government do the right thing in freeing the Lockerbie bomber?

Yes, it was the compassionate thing to do. 4%

No, this guy played a part in killing 270 people. He
deserves to die in jail. 92%

I’m not sure. 4%

[libstripper]

To all who say the death sentence can be replaced with Life Without Parole, I give you this example, something that wasn't supposed to happen when he was sentenced. There is actually no real substitute for the death sentence when it comes to subhumans like this. LWOP is nothing but bait and switch.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“In Scotland, we are a people who pride ourselves on our humanity,” said Scotland’s justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill.

But no compassion for the 270 murder victims, eh MacAss-Kill?

WTH are the two 4% groups thinking? This is cut and dried judicial idiocy in its worst form.

Idiot judges and moronic lawmakers will be the death of Western Civilization. Not that they’re the only players but they have major roles.

Domestic Scotch for the next year.

Hope there are many layoffs and much anguish for the humane French-Scots.
