For Scotland to have released Libyan bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, on the basis of "compassion" -- after he had been convicted and sentenced "to life" for his role in the Pan Am bombing over Lockerbie Scotland -- is both a travesty of justice and a moral outrage (Click to See Full Story: "Barack Obama leads condemnation of Scotland for freeing Lockerbie bomber").
This Libyan had already received his compassion in getting a life sentence in Scotland. If the tables were turned and he had been tried in Libya for murdering Libyans or other Arabs, he would have been sentenced to death under Libyan law. He should be grateful that his life was spared by some of the same Westerners that he hates and would kill in a heartbeat.
I applaud Obama for his stance on this Libyan's release. I also applaud his condemnation of the celebration for Megrahi that took place when that murderer landed in Libya. I would hope Obama pushes this issue with some penalties being issued against Libya for idolizing this killer of hundreds of Americans.
Sadly, there is no "reprieve" even possible for the dead who were killed by this murdered!
