Seeing how he was convicted in a court of law of a terrorist act, he is a terrorist.

The US is still much more about vengeance than mercy.

" ... Though federal law has a statutory provision for compassionate release in 18 USC § 3582(c), the application of this statute has been notoriously stingy (as recently detailed by Mary Prince in this recent Federal Sentencingt Reporter article). As detailed in this ABA document, the US Sentencing Commission a few years ago issued new guidelines concerning the implementation of federal compassionate release rules. But the reactions of the White House and the Secretary of State to Scotland's decision in this high-profile case spotlights that the concept of compassionate release is still not seriously embraced in the United States. ...

He was wrongly convicted, if you study the details of the case this fact becomes obvious.

Yes yes, we are slowly dying at the heart at the thought of what Americans think of us.

What the Scots did is done and over with, I don't see why any form of warning has to be sent by UK to Libya.

I think it's just meant to make sure that Libya understands how pathetic the UK truly is, just in case they didn't get the messege when the mass murderer was released because he has cancer.

It wasn't UK who took the decision anyway, devolution is a bitch but what can you do :shrug:

At least some companies got oil. Always a good thing.

What you were supposed to do is keep the man in jail for life. You let him out before that sentence was up.

And now the dickless Brits are whining any Libyan celebration over the freedom of this mass murderer would be inappropriate. To hell with that. The Libyans have every reason to celebrate, they made fools of the Brits for free.

Explain why they shouldn't celebrate. Because it makes Britain look foolish and gullible?

Well, Britain was foolish and gullible and greedy, too.

He is most likely innocent any ways. The Brits, Scots and American's did not want the case appealed because it would expose how weak a case it in reality was. And lets not forget that this is only newsworthy because a few US congressmen has it in for BP.

Actually, it's newsworthy because that maggot murdered some of my friends.

Life in prison means "die behind bars of old age".

No reason to be compassionate towards a murdering maggot, not ever.

Re: UK warns Libya any celebration of Lockerbie bomber's freedom would be offensive a

It really warms my heart when we all see an issue which various political ideologies, leans, and groups can all come around and agree upon even if its just one small thing, and then we all just use it as another reason to attack each other.
 
Re: UK warns Libya any celebration of Lockerbie bomber's freedom would be offensive a

At the time I was strongly against this release. Even the argument that he was innocent didn't swing it. This can only be determined by a court, not a deal behind closed doors. And I supported the whole of the Scottish political establishment, apart from the grandstanding nationalists who took this decision, in condemning Kenny McCaskill for his extraordinary decision which was all about expressing Scottishness than justice (look how everybody outside the UK noticed that!).

But I also support the concept of compassionate release and believe that vengeance is for God, if He exists, not the State. Maybe in this particular case it was not appropriate. But that is a decision for Scotland. And to see it ridiculed as a concept by Americans foaming at the mouth for vengeance starts to change my perspective.

This whole cloud has an enormous silver lining. It has seriously pissed off thousands of grunting inarticulate right wing morons in the USA. And the sight of populist American politicians summoning British politiicans to a review of the decision in Washington, as if Britain was some sort of American colony, and being quietly told to go and play with themselves, has been rather amusing.

Jump up and down all you like. There is nothing whatsoever you can do about it!

Britain owes nothing to America. The USA is about as fairweather a friend as you can get. The UK was the only significant country to support them in Iraq and they treat Britain then like a dog on a leash. Well in that context I'm glad that this decrepit old geezer is still alive. He's not going to kill anyone now. But he can annoy Americans with every day that he lives.

I'm glad Americans are blowing sound and fury and that it signifies nothing, and nothing is exactly all they can do about it. Britain is an independent country. We, unlike the USA, have a relatively civilized legal system. Where does your vengeance based criminal psyche get you eh? Massive prison population. Massive murder rate. And a legal system where the rich get off and the poor go down for ever. The USA.

Hey America. Get the plank out of your own eyes before looking for the speck in your neighbour's eyes. Carry out your inquiries on your own problems. Britain is a free sovereign country, with the rule of law, that was followed here. Keep your sodding noses out.

Not at all. But if your going to question somebodies intelligence, you might as well make an attempt.

It wasn't jet that subjected himself to ad hominem by questioning a user's measurable intelligence. Hence, one can make room for error. :)
