William Wallace, Where Are Ye?
Can anyone explain this to me?
We all know about Pan Am Flight 103 being blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. We also know 270 people were killed on that innocent Wednesday morning. What I don’t know is how in the world can Scottish authorities release the mastermind behind the tragedy.
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of murdering those 270 people almost a decade ago. The trial was presided over by Scottish officials in an international tribunal located in the Netherlands. Obviously this was done to appeal to the human rights/ amnesty international crowd.
Flash forward to 2009. Megrahi is set free on humanitarian grounds. According to the Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny McAskill, compassion is key when dealing with mass murderers. You see, Megrahi has terminal cancer, and his lawyers think it acceptable he be allowed to return to Libya, the nation run by terrorist sympathizer Muammar al-Gaddafi. Did those terrorists show any sympathy? Did his victims get to see their families for a final time? Megrahi should be rotting in a cell, instead of galavanting around and making a mockery of justice.
Not to mention, Gaddafi formally admitted to and apologized for the Lockerbie bombings only a few years ago. Ah, don’t we like it when the terrorists are so straightforward with their admissions?
Oh yeah. President Obama shook hands with “Colonel” Gaddafi at the G8 summit. What’s next, dinner with Chavez, tea with Mahmoud, or Madden with Kim Jong Il?
