Lockerbie Victim's Mom Calls Obama Response 'Soft' Susan Cohen 'Furious & Sick' Over Bomber's Release In Scotland CBS News Interactive: Pan Am Flight 103

The mother of a young woman killed in the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 was blunt in her anger over seeing the mastermind of the attack return home to cheering crowds.

"I was furious and I was sick," Susan Cohen, whose daughter Theodora, then 20, died on the flight.

Cohen reserved some of her anger toward the Obama administration as well. Thursday, President Obama called the release of Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi after serving eight years of a minimum 27-year sentence in Scottish prison, a "mistake."

Cohen called Mr. Obama's remark "soft," during an interview with CBS' "The Early Show" Friday, adding that she has pushed the president to do more. There is "no one even in prison for the crime," she said.

“Soft” is what you get from one whom when asked about abortion, postulated that it was “above his paygrade” to give a complete and adequate response.

They know they can do this sort of thing with Obama in the White House, because he covertly approves of it and sides with the terrorists. In fact, who knows, maybe they informed him through back channels before they released him.

There is no question in my mind that he was consulted before the release and gave the go ahead on behalf of the US

I saw someone talking about this yesterday on (I think) Greta’s show. He implied that this was an exchange that was made to get more oil flowing to Great Britain from Libya and that the US probably gave them a wink and a nod.

Absolutely disgusting if true.

Sometimes a “stern statement” just isn’t enough.

I don’t think he was cowardly in his lack of response as much as he is “consistent”.

He sides with and approves of the Islamist Jihadis.

OH but don’t say that. And don’t let Glenn Beck say that he is a racist. The truth really irritates the liberals. “Telling the truth to a liberal is like teaching pigs to sing. First of all it can’t be done and second it irritates the pigs.” I love the irritation part. LOL

The Truth offends.

“for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice”

One wonders for whom Mrs Cohen voted last November.
