Scotland’s Shame

This is an absolute disgrace, as Scotland frees a terrorist mass murderer on “compassionate grounds.”

Apparently, their compassion doesn’t extend to the surviving family members of this animal’s victims.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States strongly condemned Thursday’s decision by Scottish authorities to free a terminally ill Libyan convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie plane bombing, saying there was no justification for his release.

The Scottish government said Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, a former Libyan intelligence agent who was serving a life sentence in a Scottish prison, was freed on compassionate grounds because he is dying of cancer. Megrahi was flying home to Libya.

“The interests of justice have not been served by this decision,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the top U.S. justice official, said in a statement.

“There is simply no justification for releasing this convicted terrorist whose actions took the lives of 270 individuals, including 189 Americans.”
