I agree with this statement. It is a small token, really, but there something to be said about shaming your enemies with kindness now and again.

This, however, was in poor taste.

He has been released on compassionate grounds, but is still guilty, to die with his family. The statement made took almost half and hour to read and I would not have liked to have made the discission myself. I agree with Mikawa on this and we are better for taking the moral high ground. I wouild also like to say that despite being found guilty the evidence was weak and there is still doubt by many, including families of the deceased, whether the correct man was charged.

And it seems this negotiation was all for Oil. Trade deals with Libya from Great Britain.
"According to the Libyan official news agency Jana, he said: "I congratulate (the Scottish authorities) on their courage and for having proved their independence despite the unacceptable and unreasonable pressures they faced."
His inflammatory comments come after the British and US governments expressed outrage at the "hero's welcome" Megrahi received on returning to Libya.
Meanwhile, Col Gaddafi's son told Libyan TV that Megrahi's release was linked to trade deals with Britain.
Speaking on Libyan television, Seif al Islam claimed Britain's former prime minister, Tony Blair, raised Megrahi's case each time he visited Libya.
"In all commercial contracts, for oil and gas with Britain, (Megrahi) was always on the negotiating table," Islam told channel Al Mutawassit.
The British can now expect that doing business in Libya will become easier. On the energy front this is of enormous importance.
He also branded the 57-year-old's liberation a "victory" for all Libyans."

Scotland could have shown compassion by granting Abdel Baset al-Megrahi a visit from his family, with iron bars between, and once again shown compassion by allowing them to came to pick up his dead body.
I am so sorry for the families of Pan Am 103, that they have had this on top of all they have had to endure.

Wait a second please. Accusations against the UK of being two-faced are somewhat hypocritical when two routes are taking, namely 1, 'The rightful punishment' and 2, 'Britain negotiating behind the back of the US'.
Just like how the US snatched Saudi Arabia, the UK now took Lybia. Besides, the UK prima facie showed compassion to a man who has very little time left. The continuance of his detention would have brought nothing to the victims' families or to anyone for that matter, while on the other hand, his release secured a very meritorious deal. All this weighed on a utilitarian scale seems like an excellent decision from the perspective of the UK and surely, that is the perspective it should be viewed from.

There is a lot of talk here about boycotting goods from the UK, and I am in favor of it. There is no excuse for letting this mass-murderer go home to a hero's welcome in Libya. He should have died in prison, like all the other lifers.
I've drunk my last bottle of Scotch, bought my last wool sweater. Hmm, anything else come from that part of the world?

Who's going to benefit? I dunno. Kentucky bourbon distillers, Australian sheep-herders, maybe?
What do you recommend we do to register our outrage and disgust? I'd like to find something more effective, myself.
It's not as if the authorities in the UK feel "compassion" for all murderers who are serving long sentences. If that were the case, I'd just say they're idiots -- instead of treating everyone else like idiots by expecting us to believe them.

You're pissed at the Scottish Executive and so you're going to launch a crusade against the people. Your target is wrong. The people making the articles you mentioned had no say in the matter.

"The people making the articles you mentioned had no say in the matter."
They have more say than I do; they can vote that charlatan out of office, can't they?
What do you suggest?

I agree. What the bureaucrats did was appalling, but taking it out on the people is wrong. They had really had no choice in the matter and voting them out of office sure is a solution , but that is like putting a band-aid on a severed leg, too slow too late.
As what to do, I don't know. I just hope all the families of the victims are ok.(probably not b/c I know I would not be.)

Elections and whatnot take place periodically, which I am sure you know. I suggest you wait with boycotting until the electorate elects those responsible (folks close to Kenny MacAskill, both in ideology and in terms of work and MacAskill himself), provided it happens.

Documents reveal fears over Lockerbie deal - CNN.com
An act of mercy or an undercover deal? According to newly released information, because Lybia threatened to not play so nice with the UK. All over "compassion" because of a terrorist that has terminal prostate cancer. I say if he's not dead within 3 months send in an assassin to take him out. That's my compassion ! :angryfire:
