re: #185 Mad Mullah

Reading some news articles about this, it seems that American families who had victims on the flight are absolutely outraged and they are obviously opposed to the release of the mass murdering terrorist scum, but that quite a few British families welcomed his release. Is there something wrong with the drinking water in Britain?

No - quite a few of the Scottish families think he was not the guilty one, or not solely, and that his conviction needed to be revised.
They are outraged because such an appeal is now not going to take place.
IIRC, there are even some American families who think he was not the sole guilty party.
