I cannot believe I even supported those BP pigs for 1 minute after the Gulf accident... It was on purpose.
To sum it up the Lockerbie Bomber is to be released from prison on compassionate grounds due to being terminally ill with cancer. Personally I think that letting a murderer out on compassionate grounds, especially after serving less than a decade in prison, is baloney. He killed over 200 people mercilessly and he deserves to be given no mercy at his own death. So what do you think? Is it just to let this man spend his last days free?
Further shame goes to the British Government for even catering to it and for blatantly lieing to the U.S. Government about the details of this entire exchange.
Well, yeah, but so do a lot of governments to differing degrees. That's pretty much how politics works .Yes, shame to the British Government for catering to it.
As far as lying to the US government, I can't get to upset over it. The US government lies to other government on a regular basis just about as frequently as it lies to its own citizens.

What I am upset about is that, while lying to the US government, they also lied to the American people, who have reason to be upset about this seeing that 2/3rds of the passengers aboard the flight were Americans.
You seem to be forgetting that he also lied to us and sent a lot of our boys to their deaths. You're also forgetting that it was Blair who went along with the lie and sent those British troops to Iraq. But most importantly,englisch peeps are upset about lying Bush that killed lots of englisch soldiars in iraq. "yet he without sins cast the first cruze missile" or somethin likes that.
I'm surprised you support this sort of retributive justice, considering that you oppose the death penalty. Going along with an injustice as perceived retribution for another injustice doesn't make things right- it just creates two injustices. So you do get your quasi-revenge for the war in Iraq; BP goes off scot free , Megrahi's out there as a potential threat, and the war dead aren't coming back anytime soon. If the British government had told the US govt. and people about the proceedings truthfully we could have at least had a chance to prevent BP from tampering with justice and give them their duly deserved punishment. The bombing victims won't come back, but BP gets taught a lesson and a potential killer remains safely behind bars.Mohandas Ghandi said:An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
No, he served only 8½ years for the organizing of an action that directly resulted in the death of 270 non-combatants.the guy got 21 years in a scottish prison, thats far more than any of the world terrorist organisation leaders will ever get. as far as i am concerned getting petrol rights for the exchange of a dying guy whos spent 21 years in prison is a no brainer!
So you're saying that even the anti-Iraq, anti-Bush folks here (me included) should be locked up too? Currently, those in opposition to Iraq sit at around 65% of the American population (http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm). Due to the law of average, many of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing would have gone on to oppose the war. Also, don't forget that 1/3rd of the victims were not Americans.so how many years are the usa citizens getting for killing 95000+ civilians in Irak?!
so how many years are the usa citizens getting for killing 95000+ civilians in Irak?
so you can go round killing thousands of civilians children and women... but when someone gets a plane down and kills 270 people out of your own companies neglect you cry out for injustice!!!?
get a life!
