Gee whiz!! Everyone knows since grade school that if you cross your fingers behind your back, a promise doesn’t count.

[MikefromOhio]

of course he did you friggin idiots - you morons LET HIM GO.

(not you myknowledge of course)....

I hate to admit it, but I would be for attacking the whole celebrating crowd with him as the bulls eye. Unless, and until, we deal with these people in a manner that they consider harsh nothing will change. Make them pay a price for their lies. We would of course incur the wrath of practically all of the rest of the world, but the families of those who died on Pam 103 would know their loss had not been forgotten or those who did it gotten off lightly.

The difference in us and them is that we would do this only in reaction to the Pan AM 103 murders and the release and subsequent celebration of the perp. OTOH, they would do it as a first step and take great joy in doing it.

Let me guess: He also “promised” not to blow anyone else up ever again.

MacAskill must be dumber than a box of rocks.

The truth is that Brown and Obama knew weeks before that the terrorist would be released. The real question is why didn’t Obama speak out publicly when he found out that this was planned. Condemning it after the fact indicates that the fix was in. I blame Obama more than the Scots or Brown.

“Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, the Libyan convicted of the bombing, had shown “no sensitivity” to the families of those who died, Kenny MacAskill, Scotland’s Justice Secretary, told the Scottish Parliament. “

As opposed to MacAskill, who let the creep out in the first place?

Sorry, but some crimes are too heinous to warrant compassionate release. al-Megrahi is not some aging pickpocket or octogenarian jewel thief. He is the convicted murderer of nearly 300 innocent people, and doesn’t deserve to spend even one day as a free man.

Also, if MacAskill really thought this wouldn’t turn into a PR coup for Libya, he’s too dumb for his job. I fear what the fallout could be from this. I doubt the intended compassion of the act will impress many already opposed to the UK or the West at large. I do think it very possible that it will be interpreted as a sign of weakness or lack of resolve.

> My god, if you trust a terrorist to keep his word, just who can you trust?

Indeed. It’s like telling a terrorist “well, I’ll give you this lighter but you PROMISE not to light the explosives on your body..OK?”

Lockerbie bomber broke promise not to celebrate, says Kenny MacAskill

Aww, he broke his promise. Well, if you can't trust a blood-thirsty terrorist who murdered hundreds of people, who can you trust?

[myknowledge]

Al-Megrahi is grinning...

...because MacAskill fell for his taqiyya.

Muzzies can break promises, because when you ask a promise to a Muzzie, there is no guarantee that he / she would abide by it.

[freekitty]

Good pic and what did this idiot expect. He knew that he would celebrate. Don’t you just love these lying POS in government? sarc/

[myknowledge]

Don’t you just love these lying POS in government? sarc/ We really hate these Muzzie appeasers in the helm of government, and that is treasonous by common sense. It's a rude finger to the victims' families of those killed aboard Pan Am Flight 103 by that Libyan senior spy Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi, who helped smuggle the Sony cassette player bomb aboard the 747.

What will be worse for Scotland and England is when Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi fails to die within 3 months and lives for years.

This has nothing to do with ‘compassionate release’ as other Scot prisoners with terminal conditions have died in prison this year and they only murdered 1 person whereas Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi murdered hundreds.

[freekitty]

I know. I just don’t understand how they could act that way.

[Free Vulcan]

I know they’ve taken the very strong and devastating action of issuing a condemnation, but when are they going they going to get serious and fart in their general direction?

[xrmusn]

Heavens to Murgatroyd...He lied....
His real celebration is when he is tutoring others of his ilk in the proper way to deliver an explosive device.
And if he really wants to celebrate and get his ‘fame’, he will just strap a bomb to himself and walk into a crowded marketplace, all in the name of Islam

Then ALL involved in his release can wring their hands and apologize AGAIN.
