Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said today that while America ''didn't want'' Abdelbaset al-Megrahi to be released, they would rather see him freed on account of his terminal cancer, than under the prisoner transfer agreement between the UK and Libya

If anybody from this Regime had asked me, I would have said that I would prefer a “compassionate” shoving of a claymore up that maggot’s arse.....dipped in pig grease, of course...then detonating it with a very slow burning fuse.

Somebody needs to take this guy (al-Megrahi) out. This whole episode is disgusting.

Um, as far as this American is concerned that's a big "no!"

I'd rather see him rot in prison for the rest of his life. Ok, I can be compassionate. I'd maybe give him an option for a quick way out with a firing squad.

Prostate cancer has around 5% chance of death in the US and Europe. in a country like Nigeria they have a 65% chance of death. Why did they lie?

Why should their be “compassion” for a murderer?

How many people did he murder?

Did this criminal have “compassion” for them?

I have no “compassion” for a vile person being punished. He should have stayed in prison and treated like any other criminal who had cancer.

Speaking to Sky News today, Mr Salmond said: ‘’I think a fair description of the American Government’s position is that they didn’t want al-Megrahi to be released.
Mr Salmond being Scotlands First Minister.
Reading the story the only thing aside from the U.S. being strongly against release was if it had to happen then they preferred compassionate release.

So after intentionally murdering 270 defenseless people, in 1988, I’m supposed to be concerned about his last days with cancer?

Where was his remorse?

Where was his “compassion” for them?

Give him a bullet to the head and then release him. That would be compassion for his victims.

“Compassionate” is one ot the most abused words in the English language. When politicians are “compassionate” it’s usually just a damned excuse for more dirty tricks.

Compassionate release rather than prisoner exchange and the bomber goes to prison in Libya.

Schumer throat is apparently still under Hillary’s boot AND Obama’s. He was the patsy in all this.

I understand that was the intent had it turned out that way but the reality? He was given a heroes welcome. Once he was in Libya,exchange or release,he was a free man with a heroes status.

“..this undermines Obama’s vigorous criticisms of the decision to free Megrahi earlier this month, when he ( Obama )
said he was left “surprised, disappointed and angry”
by the Libyan’s release. “

Barry is obviously too busy playing golf and slurping ice cream cones to have a clue
about what’s going on in his administration.
Somebody else is the real Commander in Chief and POTUS
because this idiotic doofus spends every day
playing like a spoiled rotten 12 yr old.
Could it be Malia ?
Michelle ? Valerie Jarret ?
Rahm Emanuel ? David Axelrod ?
Hillary ? George Soros ?
Bo ?
