Wimpy Response

I remember all to well the morning after Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland was bombed out of the sky and killed 270 people. I was a Junior in high school and the news hit our school especially hard because one of the victims was an alumni.

13 years after the attack, justice was finally served and Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi was convicted of placing the bomb on the plane. Families of the victims had some sort of closure. Megrahi was sentenced to life in prision.

But then Megrahi gets prostate cancer, declared terminally ill and was freed from prison in Scotland, with Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill citing compassionate grounds for the release and saying al Megrahi was "going home to die."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! He didn't give a damn about the 270 people that he killed, and yet Scottish officials are giving him compassion? This guy deserve to rot in prison. He does not deserve to be surrounded by his family. He deserves to die alone in a cold, bare jail cell. The 270 victims weren't able to die with dignity so why should he.

And finally, what the hell kind of response was that from President Obama. A wimpy response is what I call it. The president should have been screaming to the Scotts from the White House roof top that this bum should not be released. He should have put some serious pressure on British Authorities, but he did not!!! Although he said the release was a "Mistake", his response seamed "laid back" and not very strong. I found it very disappointing.
