Abdel Basset al Megrahi
If the news has slipped under your radar, Scottish authorities are pondering the release of the lone person ever convicted in the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
Abdel Basset al Megrahi, who was a Libyan Secret Service officer and who is currently imprisoned for the atrocity, is reportedly suffering from advanced prostate cancer. The government is considering his release on "humanitarian grounds".
I say, "why?"
I just don't understand the weakness that is going on in the West. Have the Scots forgotten how many people died on Pan Am 103-including their own people on the ground? Who are they trying to placate? Is it their own 5th column Islamist extremists that openly threaten the UK with an Islamist overthrow? Or is it Libya? If it's the latter, maybe they should remember the Libyan government officials who shot out of the Libyan Embassy in London, killing a British policewoman-and then were allowed to go home to a hero's welcome from Moammar Gaddafi.
Enough about the Brits and Scots. What about our own nation? Did you know that this week, none other than John McCain led a delegation to Libya and helped them secure "non-lethal" defense equipment from the US? Have we ourselves forgotton Pan Am 103-or the Berlin night club bombing that killed US soldiers, carried out by Libya? Maybe someone should remind Mr. McCain that Libya's leader is still Gaddafi.
Oh, I forgot. He's no longer a terrorist. He's a moderate now. Obviously, there is something that I just don't get-like the "Big Picture", perhaps.
Somebody help me.
