EDINBURGH, Scotland — Scotland freed the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds Thursday, letting the Libyan go home to die despite American pleas to show no mercy for the man responsible for the 1988 attack that killed 270 people.
The White House declared it "deeply" regretted the Scottish decision as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi left prison and flew to Libya on an Airbus dispatched to Glasgow Airport.
Scotland's justice secretary said freeing the bomber was an expression of the Scottish people's humanity but U.S. family members of Lockerbie victims expressed outrage.
He should die in prison.....alone.
This so fucking wrong, he's getting a hero's welcome home for fuck sakes.
11 days for each murder.
Conservatism is the reason for this man's release, to save the money of his dying in prison at Scotland's expense.
Typical conservatoid bean counters.

Are you really that stupid? Did you ever hear the phrase 'Bleeding Heart Liberal'? Do you understand what that means? Do you understand the left versus right stance on prison time, the death penality, etc...? Not to mention you obviously have no knowledge of the political atmosphere of the country in question.
President Barack Obama said the decision to free the terminally ill bomber on compassionate grounds was a mistake and warned Libya not to give him a hero's welcome.

The yoik was released to save the state money, not because anyone felt sorry for him. Typical rightoid nonsense.

Where did you come up with this pearl of 'knowledge'? I'm sure you have something in print to back this up? How many others are they letting out to 'save money'? Or was he the only one?
