Should the Lockerbie bomber be freed?


Is it right to free Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds?

Should he receive treatment in prison or be released to get care?

Although tried in a Scottish Court, in reality this was an American tragedy and the crime solved with CIA resources.

To free the Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds shows no compassion let alone other nationals, who strongly oppose his release.

In America the bomber would undoubtedly have been given the death penalty.  The Scottish Authorities have discretion to take all factors into account, and many feel this bomber should die in prison.

One little-known but sickening aspect of the Lockerbie affair is that at the time of the crash there were three unsold houses in Lockerbie which had been stuck on the market, not finding buyers for some months.  Within hours of the crash they had been snapped by an American speculator who sold timeshares.

The nearer the date of the tragedy the more the timeshare week costs!!

You couldn’t make it up!
