Religion of Peace update: Lockerbie bomber released
Scottish officials would have us believe that the terrorist scumbag responsible for murdering 270 people for Islam should be allowed to “go home to die” in the company of family and friends (who will undoubtedly dance in the streets shouting “Allahu Akbar”).
His victims were not so fortunate.
LONDON — The Scottish government announced Thursday that it was freeing the only person convicted in the Lockerbie bombing, permitting Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, a 57-year-old former Libyan intelligence agent, to return home on compassionate grounds after serving 8 years of a 27-year minimum sentence on charges of murdering 270 people in Britain’s worst terrorist episode.The decision to release him early on compassionate grounds was made against strenuous American opposition after Mr. Megrahi’s lawyers said he had little time left to live because he is suffering from terminal prostate cancer.
The announcement at a news conference by Scotland’s Justice Minister, Kenny MacAskill, came almost 21 years after a bomb smuggled onto Pan Am Flight 103 exploded at 31,000 feet over the Scottish town of Lockerbie on Dec. 21, 1988, killing 259 people on board and 11 on the ground.
Of the dead, 189 were Americans. The Scottish decision was certain to provoke anguished protest from American families of the victims who had demanded that he serve his full sentence.
It was his decision, and his alone, Mr. MacAskill said, that Mr. Megrahi “be released on compassionate grounds and allowed to return to Libya to die.”
“I have followed due process,” he said.
The White House said in a news release that it “deeply regrets” the Scottish decision. “We continue to believe that Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland.”
Mr. MacAskill acknowledged that Mr. Megrahi “did not show his victims any comfort or compassion” and that they were not allowed to go home to their families. “No compassion was shown by him to them,” he said. “But that alone is not a reason for us to deny compassion to him.”
The cold-blooded slaughter of 270 people is not a reason to deny his release? How about the fact that he could murder more people in the name of Allah?
I’ve heard Semtex cures prostate cancer, perhaps a generous suppository is in order.

UPDATE: As I predicted, the bloodthirsty scum in Libya greeted Megrahi as an infidel-slaying hero, despite a stern warning from President Obama (gee, I wonder why Islamists don’t take him seriously?).
Obama warned Libya not to give him a hero’s welcome.Despite the warning, thousands of young men were on hand at a Tripoli airport where al-Megrahi’s plane touched down. Some threw flower petals as he stepped from the plane.
