There is one thing about this affair that needs to be mentioned, and nobody has mentioned it so far.
One man was convicted for this Lockerbie bombing. His name was Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi. He was sentenced to life in prison.
He was released and allowed to go to Libya, where he was treated as a returning hero. That he was released is an everlasting shame to the Scottish government, not that they have expressed regret. The reason for his release was officially humanitarian, in that he was alleged to have terminal cancer. Nevertheless, the bastard motherfucker Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi lived for two and one half years as a free man, honored as a hero, in Libya after his release. May he roast in Hell forever! May the government officials in Scotland who released him join him in Hell as soon as possible.
PS: If my response requires that this thread be moved to the P&R Forum, then I apologize to Bugman for causing that.
