[Yobuer]

I'm ashamed to have Scottish ancestry.

[adrianogers]

MacAskill's a puppet

[fredlandels2]

A brave decision Kenny MacAskill, I am proud to be Scottish,

[globaltraveller]

Totally agree. A tough decision too.

I wouldn't be too worried about criticism emanating from certain other countries who are poorly served by the weaklings they elect to govern them.

Scotland, at least, has a government with balls. And that should be clear to all whether they agree with this issue or not.

[panakoo]

This mani IS NOT the voice of the Scottish people, the crowd gathered outside Greenock prison would've ripped Megrahi apart if thet had got hold of him

[kamallneet]

Amazing Guy. I'm also proud of him.

Buddha said, "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal law."

In this world, what we lack most is love, compassion. We need more compassion, love. People like Kenny MacAskill are the salt of this earth. A hope of a loving, blissful future :)

Let him kill one of your family members. Let's see if you sing the same song!!

[KnockOnWood21]

Don't even think of quoting Buddha to justify this. Buddha taught right action.This is wrong action.

Where is McAskill's compassion for the families of the victims. The only ppl who can order Megrahi's compassionate release are the victims' families. McAskill/the Scottish govt have no right to do this. They're not the victims, they're not the aggrieved party.

[DjGisME]

You are proud?????

[DjGisME]

Hang on Mr Right he has the right to die in Lybia? HAve all these 270 did not have right to LIVE??? He killed 270 people, he had no right to breath the same air not saying to be released for even a second! This is huge mistake and there is a lot of oily business behind it that only you know what the deal is

"i also seek to live up to the values of humanity and compassion that we possess as a scottish people"

Well said.

just because someone shows no respect for humanity, doesn't mean we should stop respecting theirs.
