WTF?

Waiting for a moobat troll to come in here and sincerely defend this guys treatment in prison. After all, zionists, Bush, etc, blah blah blah.

In general, muslims are catered to by Western governments. The more they hate us, the more they receive.

Prince Charles will probably visit him too.

The Scots used to be a proud and decent people - what the hell happened?

What I want to know is the reaction of the people of Lockerbie to this news.

Whatever happened to the days when prisons in Britain were like what we saw in Braveheart? Heh.

Also, I keep telling myself that it isn't possible for me to dislike Annan anymore than I already do, and every time I find myself wrong (granted, I don't know the reason for his visit, but I doubt it was to condemn him for his actions).

WOW--it' SO BIG!

lol sorry, I clicked the link after I read Charles' excerpt and wasn't prepared for that!

Kill 270 innocent people and get your own suite with phone, TV, computer, food...

I hate to think what would happen if someone besides the USA captured Saddam.

He would probably get a mansion with servants and a private jet.

How upside-down the world is these days

Visitors to his ground floor suite have included former South African president Nelson Mandela and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

WTF! Really, what is going on here?

The world gone crazy. I feel so afraid for kids.

Time for a new menu:

Pork bangers for breakfast,

Chip sandwiches fried in pork fat for lunch,

bacon sandwiches for tea,

arsenic laced pork loin for supper.

This idiot deserves to be in a 8x10 cell, concrete walls, floors, ceilings, and fixtures...except for the little plastic honey bucket.

It's time to stop being nice to the people who are trying to kill us. The stupidity has to end.

I'm from Glasgow... I can't imagine the thinking behind making Barlinnie a home from home for this guy...And I can't imagine the other inmates being amused by it - or him... considering what he did...

Where's the real Barlinnie when you need it?

But although caged in one of Britain's toughest jails,

Jeez, what's the "nicest" one like? At least Huntsville back home looks like a prison.

he has an office.

Stick the murdering abdab in general population. He'd be shanked in days.

Alternatively just beat the worthless piece of shit to death in public and stop treating fucking islamist terrorists like human beings when they clearly aren't

And Koffi Annan and Nelson Mandela would be visiting him because...

God! He lives better than me!

#17 scaramouche

And Koffi Annan and Nelson Mandela would be visiting him because...

Because they support his cause, duh.

Yep, these butchers were killed in prisons and they didn't kill nearly as many people:
Richard Loeb
Jeffrey Dahmer
etc.
Not to mention other sick people:
John Geoghan

So agreed. He wouldn't last that long.
(Waits for the post condemning me for my oh-so-Texan viewpoints and how I need to be more humane and compassionate--like the people above were, I guess)

#17:

Because they are both staunch supporters of terrorism.

Hell, why get a hard-working job and actually pay for what I want? I'll just embrace Islam, kill hundreds of innocents, and get a better place than I could ever afford on my own.

/disgusted

#18 Ms. Andi
Hey, around here a house with that sort of floor plan costs a good $200 grand minimum.

Very disconcerting.

In what way, shape or form does this bozo rate this kind of treatment? Is this his permanent digs? The article mentioned something about him finding out his final length of sentence. I hope to God this is temporary till they find out where to stick him for good. What does he have an office for? To run a terrorist cell from his cell???

This pisses me off.

#19; #21

Sorry, they support the cause of Libyan terrorists who blow up airplanes? Is that in the U.N. Charter? Are they planning to visit the Sikh guy who's on trial for the Air India disaster too, or do they only visit Islamic terrrorists?

(Waits for the post condemning me for my oh-so-Texan viewpoints and how I need to be more humane and compassionate--like the people above were, I guess)

This Texan thinks you have been gone too long and have gone soft.

Somebody high up ordered this done, who and why?

im in true disbelief over this.

why are his accomadations not spartan and filling just his basic needs??

I went to high school in western new york with a girl named Colleen Brunner,

she was on that flight.

where is her justice! never to grow old never to have a family, may she rest in peace.

and my best friends mother in law was vaporized on 911

may she rest in peace.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THIS FIGHT TO COME DOWN LIKE A HAMMER FROM GOD ON THESE EVIL SUB HUMAN MURDERER'S!!!

WHY ARE THESE SCUM BEING PAMPERED??!!

#4 Paul

Would Prince Charles like men's prisons, you think?

#23 Victor of the Apes

Yikes!

Sounds like the prison accommodations Hitler got after the Beer Hall Putsch.

This is, of course, because someone inexplicably agreed to allow the UN to "monitor" the conditions of al-Megrahi's imprisonment. So they turned the place into a resort. And still the UN bitches about the unfair treatment al-Megrahi got at his trial (for which a special "international" court was created in the Netherlands).

Someone needs to explain why the UN is allowed to horn in on the sovereign right of the UK to try and imprison someone for a crime committed in its own territory.

Who's paying for these accomadations? I know that "if it's not scottish IT'S CRAP!", so this Libyan is obviously crap, but who is paying for this luxury, Scots?

Did anyone see that Family Guy episode "E Peterbus Unum" where Peter declares his home as Petoria and the US Government gets all pissed off because he invades Joe's property to steal his pool? After he gets on the bad guy list he invites all the world's dictators over for fun and swear Kofi was there. If he wasn't he should have been.

allow me to hypothesize a bit [because treatment like this does seem very out of place].

If memory serves, this guy was handed over to trial by the Libyans after a quite a bit of diplomatic back-and-forth (which is probably the reason that the trial took place in Scotland, not America, and thus the death penalty was not in play). Treatment like this might have been one of the conditions under which the Libyans agreed to hand him over. This might also have been the reason for the Annan/Mandela visits [required international supervision of the terms being met].

I emphasize again that the above is pure speculation.

Exatly how long is this puke going to be in "prison"?

3 to 5 years is my guess, then he will have been "re-habilitated" and set free among the population to collect welfare for the rest of his life.

He sure as fuck is NOT going back to the 3rd World shithole where he was spawned.

You have to just love the Multi-Culti state we in the Civilized World occupy.

The Air India bombing was not prosecuted for the same Multi-Culti reasons. If you suspected a Siek of doing it, you were obviously a racist and needed to be treated for mental illness.

The world had gone mad. Maybe I'm the one who is mad.

If you think everyone in the world is insane, maybe you are the one who is insane

I think I'm insane.

Visitors to his ground floor suite have included former South African president Nelson Mandela and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

The statesmen visited to check the prisoner's conditions and Mr Mandela discussed a campaign to move him to a prison in his own country.

"Move!!?! Ohh please allah no!"

Leftists: "Yes we are more concerned about criminal rights than victims rights. Afterall it is only legitimate rage at the current bush administration that produces murder throughout all times past and present and long into the future. Think those that lost their lives by the legitimate rage as dying of natural death, like that of an earthquake or volcano, not by a so called "criminal" whose only "crime" is having a set of morals that go against the cultural norm. These "criminals" only mean to "free" you from your bigoted ways."

Leftism=terrorism. Deal them the same justice as you would AQ.

Send him here to good old Folsom prison. Week one and he would be someones "wife". Week two and he would be dead... or wishing he was.

I am from Scotland myself and I think it's a disgrace. I do believe that prisoners should be safe and comfortable and free from abuse, but this prisoner is getting expensive luxury. Of course, I'd rather execute terrorists, but that just makes me a right wing extremist I'm told.

In response to #5, Scotland might be proud but it is also an incompetent socialist province, and has been stuck in the gutter for years. In fact, I don't have any faith in our system to get anything right, and that includes the justice system. The man is probably not guilty. It's more likely that this man has been framed by Libya with the connivance of the UK, in order to give the public a false sense of justice.

The luxury given to the prisoner is perhaps evidence of their guilty conscience.

Man, that "cell" is nicer than the house I grew up in, and it's a darn sight better than the dorm room I'm in now.

I'm with you guys, stick him in with the general population and take bets on how long he'll last.

Of course, there's a good chance he (or someone above him) would bribe either the guards or the prisoners to let him be. Beast-turd.

Mandela and Annan are up to their necks in it.

Getting the men into custody was a huge feat. It owed most to Nelson Mandela's friendship with Gadafy and to Robin Cook, who recognised that a radical shift was required if the deadlock was to be broken, and had the sense to let Mandela and Kofi Annan do the heavy lifting. Persuading the Americans to go along was a triumph. Yet the deal contained an implicit promise: two individuals, not an entire regime, would be in the dock. For Libya the prize was an end to pariahdom as irksome UN sanctions gave way to business as usual, especially oil business

Follow the money

Mandela wants Lockerbie bomber to be transferred to Muslim prison

Read it and puke.

#38

it's a darn sight better than the dorm room I'm in now.

LMAO, I immediately thought the same thing when I first read this. At least regarding my undergrad dorm--I used to call it my "monastic cell". I'm now in grad housing, and while it's nicer, it's certainly not as big. Yet I've lived in both and I've felt "comfortable and safe," and I think I could have tolerated for many more years if I had to. His cell is utterly ridiculous.

This is disgusting beyond words --

.

this is why i always say--"head on a pike"--yet people say i'm too violent--if he killed a thousand people--they'd probably give him his own castle and name a single malt after him--put a kilt on him and release him in population--see enticement and the ultimate humiliation at work--sheesh

Annan's "boss" is the 191-member U.N. community. And, as head of what is essentially the world's governing body, he wears many hats. He must be "equal parts diplomat, advocate, civil servant and CEO," says U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric. "He is the spokesman for the interests of the world's peoples, particularly the poor and vulnerable." Annan, 65, gets $227,253 a year (plus a cost-of-living adjustment), paid out of the U.N. budget, which is made up of dues paid by each member country. He also gets free housing in New York and $25,000 for entertainment. Annan, an economist from Ghana, lives with wife Nane in a Sutton Place mansion. He was re-elected secretary-general in 2001 and is serving his second five-year term. Absolutely disgusting!

Does anyone know why he is getting special treatment and getting an entire apartment to himself?

Someone already asked --who is paying for all his creature comforts?

Unbelievable --he even has his own computer

mandala says put him in a muslim prison--right--put all white south african murderers in white prisons only--so they won't be humiliated by the zulu convicts--this story gets worse as you peel the p.c. layers away--tell me 27 years in stir hasn't mansonized the moonbat mandela or was he always this retarded--the guy's gotta be de-iconized

HULUGU (#46)

I have the same opinion of Mandela that I do of Peres -- they are both old and senile and should do us all a huge kindness and STFU.

From the Scottish Prison Service website report on Barlinnie Prison.

Overcrowding is high as it is in all the local prisons due to the record numbers held in custody over the past year. Against this background of overcrowding, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, Andrew McLellan has expressed the view the view that staff and management are to be commended for coping with an average of 2,244 receptions per month. However, the report also highlights the restrictions caused by these high numbers particularly the lack of time out of cell to engage in meaningful activity and the shortage of work spaces. A number of actions specific to Barlinnie have been taken to help including the previously planned transfer of young remands to HMYOI Polmont; an increase in the number of training and vocational placements for convicted prisoners; and improved arrangements for induction of prisoners.

Read the whole thing here. The prison is overcrowded sheesh!

With a mass-murderer of this type, what is required is shelving. By this I mean:

1) Amputation of both arms
2) Amputation of both legs
3) Removal of both eyes.
4) Torso strapped into a self contained shelf
with feeding tubes and drainage.
5) Automated thermostat that starts your day at 10 F
and turns up heat to 110 F and repeats this
cycle every hour

Shelf to be left in isolation in underground fascility with other convicted mass-murderers and nihilists.
Term: 50 years (or death) whichever comes first.

Videos of all detainees to be distributed (via mass media) so that these maniacs will understand that before they get to spend time with their 72 virgins, they will get to spend whatever is left of their earthly existance as guests of the Kfir.

This is an atrocity.
But not a surprise.

#39 Fay

Qaddaffi paid 10 Billion to get off the hook and rehabilitate himself. Maybe Osama Bin Laden should try and raise approx 100 Billion. That is approx the same amount per person murdered. Money certainly talks. It swears !

#47 zulubaby

I have the same opinion of Mandela that I do of Peres -- they are both old and senile and should do us all a huge kindness and STFU.

They (including Koffi) should do us all a huge kindness and DIE.

Sweet Jebus! And here I am stuck in this stinkin dorm. I'd kill for a crib like that.

Are Kofi and Mandela evil? I used to think well of Mandela, back in my youth I thought of him as a noble imprisoned freedom fighter, and I guess he as much as anybody helped end apartheid. I used to sing along with my Special AKA tape "Free Nelson Mandela" ( still a great song, even if Mandela has turned into an asshat).

But I suppose since this man may have helped kill several hundred Americans, and thus is a freedom fighter in the battle against Amerikkkan Imperialism, he is viewed by the tired old Marxist as some kind of hero.

They had Nelson Mandela and Kofi Annan and then they let them go. If I'd been running that place, their visitor badges would have disappeared.

What a nice message this sends to [bigoted word]s in the UK who are contemplating becoming terrorists. Either you die in the attack and get your 72 virgins or you're caught - and end up in better digs than you have now. Not to mention visits from *spit* "esteemed" international leaders. And all at the expense of the British taxpayer.

We laugh at the stupidities of Islam all the time. But in this case (and many others), I'm sure the Islamonazis must roar with laughter when they contemplate the idiocies of dumb Westerners, who coddle those who want to kill them.

Jack Ruby had the right idea.

I'm just as outraged by the story as anyone else here... However, there is still a possibility, even if a remote possibility, that the bomber got this treatment because he spilled the beans.

Now all Al Megrahi has to do is write a book, preferably an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist manifesto of some sort. If he's capable of putting a noun and a verb together in a sentence, Norman Mailer will hail him as a literary genius, the city of Paris will make him an honorary citizen, and his taped speeches will be played at Evergreen U. and Berkeley commencement ceremonies.

His rooms are kitted out with a colour television, video recorder, stereo and personal computer.

Ahh, socialism at its best.

I don't want to believe that mass murderers get treated that well. What happened to hard labor?

The UN out of the US and the US out of the UN. Rotten corrupt b@$tards need to get the f**k outta my country and my country needs to stop payrolling the killers. F**k 'em all with a rusty roll of bob-wire...

Kofi and Nelson can ESAD, the rotten MF's. Oh, and take Jimmuh the Dimmuh with them.

Did Kofi and Mandela play a round at St Andrews after the visit? Did Al Magrahi play a round with Kofi and Mandela during the visit? When is Clinton going to visit and tell the world that he feels this poor mans pain? Will Al Magrahi beat Clinton at St Andrews?

I'm sure the Islamonazis must roar with laughter when they contemplate the idiocies of dumb Westerners, who coddle those who want to kill them.

I agree with you completely. Thank the pc "liberals" for this. But, even if this piece of pond scum wasn't being accommodated in a four room apartment, he would still be living in better conditions in a British (American, Autralian etc.) jail than he would be in any stinking Muslim prison. It's part of who we are, we respect people and afford them rights. It's pissing awful to contemplate, but it has to be this way because of who we are.

An interesting item on the local news tonight. The World Weightlifting Championships are being held in Vancouver this week and members of the team from Iraq have been expressing how much they are enjoying competing for the sake of competing. The reason for this is that previously they would be subject to torture by Uday if they didn't get a result. Geez, who knew? They said "freedom" is wonderful and that before they had "freedom" Uday would string them up by the wrists and whip them across the soles of their feet. If that didn't work they would be put in coffins for two or three days at a time. No word on where "freedom" came from.

See a Hindu website description of the cult of subservience to islam, that permits them to commit atrocities and be rewarded for same:

#67, Camel Prophet. As always, highly educational in your inimatble way, and provocative also in a semi benign way. A true virtuoso of information not easily found by this searcher. You earn respect through your service.

Think of the implications of this.

Someone in the government approved of the idea.

Then someone hired an paid an architect to design it.

Then someone approved the plans.

Then someone hired contractors and construction workers to build it.

Then someone paid for all the amenities and had them installed.

All so a mass-murdering terrorist can live a life of luxury at the tax-payers expense.

Obviously Scottish politicians and their consciences are bought pretty cheaply.

And have no shame.

#67 Camel Prophet.from the link you post.

Every concession made to the “Muslim minority” helped only to whet its appetite for more. It staged street riots whenever the “Hindu majority” showed some resistance to its mounting demands. In the event, it opted for a separate nationhood and established another Islamic state on the soil of India.

But instead of laying the blame where it really belonged, the political leadership blamed British imperialism for creating the “communal divide” and “Hindu communalism” for “deepening the crisis” which culminated in Partition. This Big Lie was sold on a large scale after independence when political power passed into the hands of self-alienated Hindus who paraded themselves as “progressive”, “leftist”, “revolutionary” etc., and who harboured an incurable animus against everything native and national. Once again, the Quran came out quite unscathed.

Muslims start the Game Again

That part of the “Muslim minority” which had voted for Pakistan but had chosen to stay in India, restarted the old game when India was proclaimed a secular state pledged to freedom of propagation for all religions. It revived its tried and tested trick of masquerading as a “poor and persecuted minority”. It cooked up any number of Pirpur Reports.4 The wail went up that the “lives, liberties and honour of the Muslims were not safe” in India, in spite of India’s “secular pretensions”. At the same time, street riots were staged on every possible pretext. The “communal situation” started becoming critical once again.

just substitute Israel for India...

its revolting

The Scottish Prison Service is paying for al-magrahi's luxury lifestyle.

One of the reasons he is getting this treatment is to impress the World Leaders who visit him.
Kofi and Nelson can go home and tell the world how wonderful Scottish jails are.

I have visited Barlinnie prison,the conditions for the general population were pretty bad.

67 Camel Prophet's link takes care to castigate the G-d of the Bible, His "self-centered" "just-me" claims, His "pet mouth-pieces" -- and claims the Bible G-d is now pretty much a defeated, powerless book. (gross generalization)

Any other deity invoked by the folks who have actually contained or driven back the [bigoted word]s in a serious, repeated way? But let's just bite off the hand that frees us, and announce (once again) His demise.

Then who'll protect the masses from the mass murderers? (And all the taxes for cell maintenance...)

#72 no daft

The Scottish Prison Service is paying for al-magrahi's luxury lifestyle.

Nuh uh...the British taxpayers are paying for al magrahi's luxury lifestyle.

# 75 Fay

The extra money is coming out of the S.P.S budget.

The budget of the S.P.S is paid for by Scottish taxpayers,not British taxpayers.

The orders to give al-magrahi special treatment came from London and Scots have to pay for it.

Ed #54 - "I used to think well of Mandela, back in my youth I thought of him as a noble imprisoned freedom fighter, and I guess he as much as anybody helped end apartheid."

Mandela's a Communist, dedicated to your destruction, and you're a metro-red-romanticizing-sexual. No smily this time Ed.

Excerpts from Mandela's manuscript (which helped get him jailed - Rivonia trial): "HOW TO BE A GOOD COMMUNIST"
"Under a Communist Party Government South Africa will become a land of milk and honey... the Communist movement still faces powerful enemies which must be crushed and wiped out from the face of the earth before a Communist world can be realised."
[Link: home.wanadoo.nl...]

This from the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize winner.

no daft, is that a result of devolution?

sorry, not manuscript, transcript

The Scottiish legal system has always been separate from the English-Welsh legal system.

Devolution was set in place to save Scots from a second Thatcher-terror.

#54 Ed Moran:Abu De Donde Alan

So many people get so dewy eyed when they talk about Mandela as if he were a holy man. If only they knew!

I read somewhere that Qaddaffi is involved in running a terror group (Qibla??) based in South Africa. Could be that Al Megrahi is a conduit to Mandela. I wouldn't put it past Kofi Annan to be somehow involved in this. I have pix of Annan warmly greeting Hizbullah terror thug Nasrallah.

ploome:

Hindus are increasingly sick of India's muslim
minority. Post Partition, muslim savages have increased their numbers from 8-13%. In stark contrast, Hindus in Pakistan have decreased from 18-1%. One time Hindu majority areas - Afghanistan, Bangladesh - have all but ethnically cleansed their Hindu populations. Al-Qaeda continues to hold large majority support among muslims in all these states.

There are now 130,000,000 muslims in India. They are allowed to live under muslim "personal law" - with its perverse male polygamy, unfair inheritance laws, easy male divorce and discriminatory custody laws, sexual mutilation, etc - and 30,000 are paid to make pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia each year. All this, has not bought loyalty. Osama bin Laden memorabilia is widely sold in muslim markets.

Where ever muslim move, trouble follows.

NO MUSLIMS, NO TERROR.

His "cell" is 3 times the size of my apartment...that I pay money to live in.

This is bullshit.

I heard that Megrahi WAS initially put in the general population, but that an enraged fellow inmate tried to drown him in a vat of porridge at breakfast time!

Better luck next time!

#80 - The sole reason for devolution is to ensure that whatever happens in England, Labour will always be in power in Scotland and Wales.

Only problem...as usual, this will be a non-story with the leftist press. Anyone see this on ANY channel or in any paper in the good old USA? No, me neither.

This is disgusting. Not only does he get a suite of rooms, but his own bathroom too! Damnit, he's NEVER going to get shanked in the shower at this rate!

I'd love to hear the assinine reasoning behind this.

Behold the power of Lybian blackmails...

zaza (#87),

... and dump trucks full of money.

I've often wondered whether Libya was framed in the Lockerbie case. The evidence pointed towards the PFLP-GC, Syria and Iran, then Iraq invaded Kuwait and Bush Sr wanted Syria on side, then somewhere in the Scottish countryside the CIA found the magic microchip that implicated Libya. It would explain what Qadhafi's on about it when he talks about Libya's persecution and Arab indifference.

I'll never forget that day in December - a bunch of college kids returning from Europe to spend Christmas with their families. This is a fucking disgrace! Where the hell is the outrage among US political leaders? Let's stir things up and make this guys life a lot less enjoyable. P.S. Fuck mandela.

#89 mitch: I'm not even touching that with a barge pole, but I don't see all this difference between Lybia and Syria, Gaddafi and Arafat, Gaddafi's pets and Al Qaeda... And to credit Gaddafi with saying anything remotely reliable is just incomprehensible to me.

Wow...If only he had access to a gym, this would any prison in the US.

Jokes aside...I am opposed to any tolerance and liberties for prisoners. After all, if they are tried and sentenced, they are seperated from society for a crime that they committed. Should not be treated like state guests...

#88 Geepers: well I wouldn't really imagine prison officials or Justice ministers in UK got directly bribed! I think it's more a case of the special influence Gaddafi exerts in many, many, many circles. As well as the terrorism blackmail.

I don't think Lybia is so extraneous even to current situation with terrorism in Iraq or elsewhere.

zaza (#94),

Somebody approved of this. A lot of special exceptions had to be made to have this happen.

Who made those decisions, and why?

Don't the people of Scotland give a damn about this?

Aren't there any investigative reporters in Scotland. Or does the Scottish press have blackout rules when it comes to reporting corruption in government - like the PA?

Did George Galloway have anything to do with this?

Just a thought...

Money talks even in Scotland. It's deeply disappointing that even those sturdy honest people are having their heads turned by Islamic fascists bribery.

There is truly no place to run.

This has got to be an April Fool's gag. Right? Tell me that's the case so I don't go raving mad.

#95 Geepers: I have no idea... I do remember reading about the whole cable TV and extras he got at least a year ago. I'd read complaints in internet discussion forums...

What I meant is just, I think the "special arrangements" were the result of Gaddafi's influence more than outright bribing. At least, not necessarily.

Aside from this NotW article, Ive not seen this carried anywhere else in the UK press, but have not been looking assiduously.

I dont think its due to bribery or influence, its just symptomatic of the fact that UK prisons are so non-unpleasant that career criminals don't particularly mind repeat stays.

Well this story made CNN:

But look how ridiculously watered down it is:

Pan Am 103 convict's cell called plush

The Daily Mail wrote that the conditions are in contrast to those experienced by the rest of the prisoners.

They noticed that did they?
