Scotland frees the “terminally ill” Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi

Compassion for terrorist? I thought only Obama cornered the market on that? Guess Scotland is just as pathetic.  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. How very European of them. More from Yahoo::

The White House declared it “deeply” regretted the Scottish decision as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi left Greenock Prison and flew to Libya on an Airbus dispatched to Glasgow Airport, still insisting he was innocent.

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.

“I think it’s appalling, disgusting and so sickening I can hardly find words to describe it,” said Susan Cohen, of Cape May Court House, New Jersey, whose 20-year-old daughter, Theodora, died in the attack. “This isn’t about compassionate release. This is part of give-Gadhafi-what-he-wants-so-we-can-have-the-oil.”

Some men outside the prison made obscene gestures as al-Megrahi’s prison van drove by toward the airport.

Al-Megrahi, who had served only eight years of his life sentence, was recently given only months to live after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

    This is just another disgusting example of those peasant Scots and their lack of morals, this is nothing but a disgusting trade of a mass murderer for oil rights in Libya. These Scotish rats would sell their mothers if they thought it would keep them in special brew and superkings for another day.
