Clipper 103 terrorist let go

[SLUF4]

WTF? That's all I have to say.

 

[mazbaird]

Ever seen the movie Munich? That comes to mind right about now, they had the right idea.

 

[firstthird]

fricking euro-trash. should've executed the guys years ago and now they are letting him go.

 

[wmuflyguy]

It is unbelievable, I can't even begin to wrap my mind around their rationalization of it.... They let him go on "grounds of compassion". Just like the compassion he showed to the 270 he blew up. They didn't get to spend their last minutes at home, why should he?

I guess a life sentence doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

 

[Dick Cabeza]

Some Government or a Private concern (ala Blackwater) should track the Ba$turd down and execute him, just as he did to the people on 103.

Sometimes in the real world a trial is not justified or necessary for the truly evil among us!

 

[bentpilot]

What kind of "professional" crew would agree to fly him to Libya knowing what he did?

 

[SLUF4]

I wonder how much blackwater would charge-maybe we can start a pool of money

 

[q100]

Just to play devil's advocate for a second here...

There are some pretty serious doubts out there about his guilt.

The release could just be politics. Libya paid blood money to get out from under sanctions after all, and maybe sending this guy home to die (which is done with some frequency in Scotland, 3 months to live being the condition I believe) is a move to gain favors from Libya. Or, equally plausible, a condition of his release was dropping the appeal. Perhaps that appeal would have produced some info that would greatly embarrass the governments that prosecuted him, or would reveal secrets best left secret. Google the PFLP-GC and a man named Abu Talb, for instance.

I don't have a dog in this fight, in that I didn't know any Lockerbie victims. Within the next couple of days however, two of my family came home for XMas on PA103. It could just as easily have been their flight. So you'd better believe I want whoever did it to pay. This could be a simple case of a genuine compassionate release, about which I have very mixed feelings, or it could be one of those cases where governments decide that justice must take a back seat to policy. We may never know.

It is my understanding terrorists (or "people who facilitate man-made disasters" for the Obama crowd) like to be martyrs. They like to be noticed for their deeds because it is not necessarily the deed but the message. If a terrorist (or "person who facilitates a man-made disaster) denies he did something it kind of defeats the whole purpose. In the case of Lockerbie, I would imagine a terrorist (or person who facilitates a "man-made disaster") would be salivating over claiming responsibility....unless it was a state sponsored terrorist act (or "man-made disaster"). Then I would expect denial and if that is not possible, a fall guy. So, as to his guilt, I don't know. Just my 2 cents.

Mamma- gfys- some liberals are pussies- not all. Go pound your chest about us somewhere else- I'm as pissed about this as anyone.
'man-made' disasters- I'd say you just described the Bush administration, but that's seriously classless considering the subject matter of this thread.

I swear, conservatives will politicize ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. It's pathetic. You'd do better to email the president and Hillary when this happened, like I did, instead of taking pot shots at him and everyone who voted for him on an anonymous Internet thread.

pardon you? Can I start generalizing now, too?

 

[Lrjtcaptain]

I love how these terrorists hate the west....."death to america" and so on, yet these pieces of $h.t have no problem wearing western clothing. Take that damn NIKE hat off!!!!

I thought nike stuff was made in china?

 

[dollacrackho]

Those animals welcomed him home like he was a hero.

You're, right. How about skirt wearing, a-hole euro trash that were some how paid off (probably in oil) to let a mass murderer go. Unbelievable, think if if the US had a 9/11 terroist in custody and two years from now let him go because, "it's the nice thing to do because he's going to die soon". Beam me up, Scottie!!!, we are all going to die someday, hopefully not in sheer terror like the Clipper 103 victims!!!!

Lighten up Francis! I was just trying to be politically correct but I really struck a nerve with you! I think you have a few issues that need to be resolved. Maybe some Prozac or lithium would help. Maybe a diaper change? I don't know. I just get paid to fly planes. Psycho.

Anyway, my post had nothing whatsoever to do with US politics. If your reading comprehension was above the 5th grade you would have been able to figure that out. You can also pull your head out of the sand with your whiny "Conservatives politicize ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING" comment. Like liberals don't???? Oh, was I incorrect on the "man-made disaster" comment? If so, call me out and I will apologize. Until then, I send you a virtual tissue to dry your eyes.

You're dumber than I thought. Since you bit the bait MCHammer, please explain your double standards with a scientist called Wernher von Braun.

@all
Stepping down from your little soap box and taking a closer look at the entire Clipper 103 trial, you'd see that there are a few irregularities, there's a good article about it here.

Screaming foul play and sounding tough doesn't do the victims of flight 103 any good. It would be nice to think more and prevent this Sheit in the first place!

It can't get any dirtier than politics...

 

[SpoilerFault]

Politics aside, I'd shoot him in the face just as a matter of principle.

Hey Scottie sorry to get your skirt (or kilt) ruffled, but The Lybian government admitted culpability for PAN AM 103 as well as UTA Flight 772 and the Berlin discotheque bombing.

Comparing a scientest in the service of his country in a time of declared war to a convicted state sponsored terrorist is somewhat comical. I guess using your logic Robert Oppenheimer falls in the same categorey as Von Braun?

 

[SWA/FO]

Kill him!

No, I was referring to your dumb generalization. You're this type of ignorant follower that politicians love. It is an utter shame that you find this comical. Some serious reading should do you good, instead of repeating superficial facts.

Nice, you can't argue the facts so you attack the messenger. Please, cite your information disproving the facts (spare me Al Jazeera or The Tripoli Post).

Since reading comprehension does not seem to be your forte, I found your weak analogy regarding Von Braun and your friend Megrahi comical, not the Scottish government letting a convicted mass murderer free.

You really peak out on the FI imbecile meter. You should be the one working on your reading comprehension (and spelling it seems). So ...

If you carefully re-read my posts, which seemed to have unleashed your blind and irratic anger, you should be able to tell me the point I am trying to make (without lowering myself to 5th grade level). Am I in favor in letting him go, or against it?

Your turn!

 

[DIAMONDDD]

It is good that they let him go. He served his time. I'm sure it was very uncomfortable for him in prison. And just think of his poor family having to endure the hardship of him being away in prison. Now he can at least die in close proximity and comfort of his loved ones. It would be a shame to deny someone that.

(yawn).....Again, the attacks without addressing the issues. As far as your "point", you feel that Megrahi should not pay for his crimes, I do. So, best of luck with your charming enlightened thinking and thanks for the laugh.

 

[crj567]

-And this murdering toolbag came home to a "hero's welcome." Anyone who thinks that people from this region are normal should consider this fact.

Excuse me? Not addressing the issues? I might see the bigger picture than you ever will! Y'all get mental hard-ons over this guy saying crap like “I'll shoot him & other misc. blablabla” and generalize Europe with a controversial decision! That was my original complaint, Mr. Reading Comprehension aka Karma! Now you ( Karma )implied immediately that I supported this decision. I don't and lots in Europe don't either, but you can't tell me that Mr. Megrahi committed this crime just on his own, in a country where nothing can be done without the approval of the”dear” leader, Mr. Qaddafi. Then … all of a sudden flamboyant Mr. Qadaffi – called Mad Dog by Reagan - becomes apparently mellow, waves a billion or so dollars at our faces and accepts responsibility, basically buying the West off so he can continue to sell his oil that we all desperately need. Peanuts for him in a country that produces as much oil as Saudi-Arabia but does much less for it's own citizens! The hero's welcome shows that Mr. Megrahi was probably made the fall guy for his country. The hero's welcome is absolutely disgusting, and even more disturbing that the main manipulator has never been brought to justice. It is even more detestable that the western governments including the US are playing along!

For those that don't mind a little bit more in-depth reading about this whole mess:

Now Karma let's have a little talk between you & I. Let's dissect some of your statements amigo:

Regarding the info, see the links above; as previously mentioned you should work on your reading comprehension (and please your spelling!), hope you're not getting lost in seeing your simple world morph from black & white into one with lots of gray.

Ridiculing Scottish traditional customs is not attacking the messenger on your behalf? Stop being the prime example of a hypocrite. Besides, I am not even Scottish. The closest I got to Scotland where quickturns in INV, GLA and ABZ. I live in SAT. Your idiocy is truly amazing!

Your statement about Wernher von Braun “serving his country” is almost a crime in itself. Do yourself a favor and start reading and educating yourself. Why don't you start with “The Peenemünde Wind Tunnels” by Peter Wegener to get an idea how much von Braun cared (not!) about the forced laborers assembling his V2s in the Mittelwerk, while being a member of the Nazi party and receiving the Knight's Cross. And stop using your naïve excuse of somebody just serving his country. If you use that argument then Mr. Megrahi was just serving his. Following orders and using their Führer as excuse. Fact is both of them are unscrupulous murderers washing off their guilt by patriotism, while the one dictator that's still alive shook hands with Condoleezza & company to continue his business. It shows, when somebody becomes of political or scientific interest, his or her past is forgotten quick easily. And most people play along and blindly repeat the crap they hear on CNN, FOX or whatever it's called.

It would do you great to use this thing you are carrying between your shoulders in order to think more and not quaver repetitive superficial slogans. Think, think, think it'll hurt at the beginning but you'll get used to it. At least then you won't sound then like Budweiser's “real man of genius” like Mr. RealLoudCellphoneTalkerGuy or in your case Mr. RealLoudVirtualScreamingOnFIGuy.
