FBI slams MacAskill as Gaddafi embraces bomber, thanking Queen's ministers.

[Berdie]

Oooh....a very strongly worded letter. How horrifying.  Almost as horrifying as a flight filled with 270 innocents being bombed and destroyed. Almost...in the eyes of the BBC.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie I don't think the BBC journalists here were downplaying the horror of the Lockerbie bombing. Rather they were quite brave to criticise their government masters.

I think the BBC did OK to broadcast the FBI director's letter which is why I uploaded the video.

Suppose the BBC had ignored the letter altogether?

Better to slate the BBC & USA TV news when they promote the Queen, monarchy and kingdom that rubber stamps such lame Queen's ministers as MacAskill, Mandelson, Brown etc.

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard I hear you, but I’m not buying it. The reporter repeatedly mentions how “unprecedented” this “strongly worded” letter was one is almost left with the feeling that the real offense is not the abhorrent release of this scumbag but the American reaction to it. You and I can completely disagree with the “bravery” of this piece. What bravery? Where? How?

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie The job of the BBC is to promote UK power in the world and that means telling Americans how wonderful the Queen is and how happy the British people are with the rule of her wise ministers and sure there is a loyal opposition but really it is fine and no problems requiring colonials to have independence & a republic so isn't about time you Americans swore allegiance to the Queen etc.

So broadcasting US criticism of UK decisions is the BBC doing a 180 degree turn from the script.

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard Funny...I thought the main focus of the BBC was pandering to the political left - the Galloway factions of British political discourse - in blaming the Americans and Israelis for literally everything.  If the focus of the BBC is to make Americans believe British royalty is awful and blame ourselves, it has failed miserably at the task.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Don't be absurd. Galloway is a stooge of the right-wing Vatican which has now a former Hitler-youth as Pope. Yes the Vatican is hostile to Jews and is suspected of complicity in the holocaust, though many Catholics to their credit fought the Nazis, many didn't because the Pope didn't.

Saddam paid terrorists who killed Israelis, and the Vatican and the neo-Nazi right wanted sanctions against Saddam's Iraq lifted..

The focus of the BBC is to make Americans SUPPORT the Royals.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Perverse that you could say "If the focus of the BBC is to make Americans believe British royalty is awful" as if that was what I was implying.

I said the exact opposite. The focus of the BBC is to make Americans believe British royalty is wonderful for dealing with Arab kingdoms who did 9/11 and Gaddafi who did Lockerbie.

Your supposed to NEVER MIND 9/11 or Lockerbie, grin and bear it.

OK their Gaddafi planned failed but 9/11 SUCCEEDED because Obama is bowing to the Saudis.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie The campaign to make Americans blame themselves for 9/11 is not a complete failure because "9/11 was an inside job" is a long running conspiracy theory that still has legs in the USA and elsewhere, despite quite clear evidence that funding for 9/11 came from oil-rich Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia with organisational help from Pakistani militants and no serious attempts by those states to arrest donors nor Al Qaeda leaders. We'll have to go get them ourselves like we did Bin Laden.

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard We are in so much agreement, we should just focus on that. I totally agree about the need for much of Europe and the radical left to blame us for everything. It must be an easy world...something wrong happened!! Those damn Americans!  On this very page, there was a comment about how the US is involved in so many problems. A radical Islamist terrorist blows up 270 innocents over Scotland and we still are the ones who draw ire...not the murderer. Disgraceful...and pathetic.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Are you retarded? The Queen is not on "the radical left" but she is to the right of everyone except maybe the ultra-right wing Saudi royals who ordered Bin Laden to do 9/11 as part of a royalist far-right war against the USA.

Neither is the Hitler-youth Pope nor his stooges on "the radical left". The Vatican now as in World War 2 is with the neo-Nazi far-right.

Those waging war on the USA are as far right as it is possible to get.

You don't know your political left from right!

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard Well there goes my attempt at finding common ground. No, I am not "retarded"...for one thing, I am not the one saying Galloway is a right-winger. If you're down to saying that, than ANYONE can be a right-winger. The attacks on the US, the 9/11 truth crowd, the Blame America first (and only) groups, the antiwar coalitions, the ones who say we're getting what we deserve, etc. have overwhelmingly come from the political left in our country and abroad.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Galloway went to Iraq to meet with, salute and praise Saddam Hussein, a mass-murdering military dictator - a classical far RIGHT-wing ruler.

How dare you say that anyone can be like Galloway? Few on any side of politics can stoop as low as Galloway to salute such a monster.

Few on the right would willingly meet Saddam unless it was in a professional capacity as did Rumsfeld.

Fewer still on the left would go anywhere near Saddam unless it was to watch the scum bag hang.



[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard Galloway identifies as a progressive and praised Saddam Hussein as REPUBLICANS In the US were garnering support to depose him. Such a friend of the political right? Check what Galloway has had to say about President Bush and, well, any Republican. In fact, it was a Republican (Norm Coleman) who brought him to the Senate to testify. There is little separating the radical left and radical right...and both have a common enemy in the moderate right.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Galloway is DISOWNED by progressives and was kicked out of the Tony Blair's British Labour Party who view him as a total disgrace.

He set up his own fan-club political party called "Respect" and he thrives on media appearances and winning libel actions because the ultra-right wing - judges, Vatican and neo-Nazi right love him for discrediting the left.

Full credit to the US for taking the lead against Saddam and the democratic left and right internationally are with you on!

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard Galloway was kicked out of the Labour party and then founded RESPECT....an even more radical LEFT party. You're beginning to prove my point, not yours.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie RESPECT = George Galloway for populist fascist dictator to eliminate all the Pope's and Queen's enemies. There is no way RESPECT could be thought of as radical left. Radical right maybe.

Anyway, I am calling a halt to any further discussion about Galloway since this is desending into left vs right name calling and we both hate Galloway so that's the end here.

If you want to continue this in the For Freedom Forums at web address FIGH.TK you are welcome to.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie I never said Galloway was a friend of the respectable democratic right such as the US republican party.

Galloway is an agent of the undemocratic unaccountable "from God" sources of political authority - such as the Pope and the Queen.

Therefore Galloway attacks the democratic moderate right, from the ultra-right, sure with populist language, but then so did leaders like Hitler and Mussolini use that style.

Galloway is more of a fascist than a democratic socialist.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Dictatorships are far-right-wing entities. Gaddafi was far-right. The former Pakistani military dictatorship was far-right. Absolute monarchies such as the Arab monarchies like Saudi Arabia are far right-wing.

The attacks by Gaddafi and Al Qaeda were to try to terrorise democratic USA to heel or to sell out freedom and to push back against democracy as citizens from Pakistan across the middle east to North Africa demand the freedoms that we in the West enjoy.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Neither the moderate democratic left nor the radical left would touch enemies of freedom and democracy such as Gaddafi or Al Qaeda with a barge pole. The left supports the war on terror and the Arab spring.

When Gaddafi and Bin Laden got killed the left cheered louder than anyone. The left loves freedom fighters!

So to the contrary the left salutes those on the front lines of freedom waging war against the agents of far-right tyranny.

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard When Gaddafi and Bin Laden were killed the left cheered louder than anyone??? NONSENSE!!! Complete bullshit. Not even close. That is precisely the OPPOSITE of what happened...most of the political left clamored for Bin Laden to have due process!!! It's the politcal left that has opposed the deposing of those brutal dictatorships you helpfully list out. You're in lala land, my friend.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Rubbish. If anyone has naive illusions about honesty of the back-stabbing Saudi royals and the backstabbing Pakistani ISI it is the right.

The left fully expects monarchs, dictatorships and their secret agents to be waging war on democracy and keeps telling the West's right to watch our soldiers and diplomats backs with those scum bags. But will our right listen? Not until it is way way TOO LATE!

You are confusing pacists and lawyers with the left. The left are freedom fighters!

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie When the Queen is friendly with the Saudi monarchy and other Arab kingdoms who have sent their secret agents Al Qaeda to attack America on 9/11 the UK & BBC expect you all to do what Obama did and keeping bowing down to royalty and accept it was YOUR FAULT as was Lockerbie & that's why you got attacked because you uppity colonials insist on being all republican and independent and not obeying your true sovereign monarch that you rebelled against and rejected in a 4th July kind of way.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie So it is brave of the BBC to broadcast to the world that for once the Americans have complained about taking it up the ass from the Queen's ministers.

I am sure such independence and challenge to the UK rule will not want to be encouraged by the masters of the BBC so the journalists are bravely going out a limb by even broadcasting the US criticism.

Do you think North Korea broadcasts US criticism of their regime? They don't, so you shouldn't expect the BBC to do so either.

[Berdie]

@ScottishStandard I see what you're saying but I think you and I have a very different read on this. The way it's presented in this piece, they seem to be holding America to task for having the gall to send a "strongly worded letter" (gasp!) rather than holding British feet to the fire for releasing a murderer 270 times over in the name of compassion...which is so gross I don't even know where to begin.

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie Well look I have to be pedantic about this because neither the Scots, nor the British PEOPLE wanted the Lockerbie bomber released.

It was the Queen's ministers who allowed him to go free and they care nothing for what we the people think about particular issues we have no control over so long as the kingdom can rig elections by control of broadcasting where they present mostly politicians who are in agreement with "show our independence by standing up to the Yanks".

[ScottishStandard]

@Berdie This story doesn't say "gall" nor does say anything critical of the FBI director's letter, does it?

The USA got up off from your grovel to the Queen and her ministers for long enough to protest and the journalists are standing up to their BBC bosses long enough to give the letter the dignity of a mention because you deserve it for finding your voice at last.

But don't kid yourself that you are holding the kingdom's feet to the fire. We here who love you wish you would.

[AJSwisgirl]

In this video gaddafi looks like a homeless from LOndon.

[rulebrittaniaPTBB]

They say he was always on the table - why would he always be on the table if a deal had already been done. This shows that if he was always being discussed and not released until now suggests that this isnt a cover up. They are just saying that they have tried to get him released everytime we have traded. While i disagree with the decision as a whole, as an englishman and a brit i accept and defend the scots right to make it

[TheLoyalOfficer]

@rulebrittaniaPTBB Look at Mandelson. What a prick! The idea that the Brit gov was involved is "offensive"?? NO - this release is OFFENSIVE!

[ScottishStandard]

@rulebrittaniaPTBB The Scots DIDN'T make this decision same as we don't make ANY decision since we are an enslaved people, same as the English and all Britons are enslaved and not even trusted to elect our own heads of states, presidents of republics.

Oh no. This decision was taken by Queen's ministers, appointed after rigged elections.

Will you defend the Scots' and English' rights to raise a republican army & remove the monarchy, assassinating the Queen & family if necessary?

[dutchy1176]

....look at the inside of that plane...he was hauled back home & welcomed like royalty.here's what I think:1)the trial in 2001 was a farce+he's innocent  2)he doesn't have cancer 3)his release was purely based on economics:OIL,OIL,OIL!!

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

Good luck scottish, I suggest like you did back in times, kill your nobles and then attack england lol oh and england are such... that country even got sharia laws now lol they even bribe saudi arabia to help them against terrorists ROFL wow

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - You should register with the For Freedom Forums. You would be the first Swede I think. I will send you an invite - check your Inbox for a long message.

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - Sorry I can't send you that mesage because you have got "Friend lock" enabled.

[ScottishStandard]

@Darmokjaladtanagra - No I prefer giving the Queen the same "48 hours to leave" warning that Saddam Hussein got (leave Scotland or Britain obviously, not Iraq).

Why not hang the Queen? It would be justice for all the misery she has caused.

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

I hear you scottishStandard, wasn't sure it was that bad, I know what you are talking about I am from and live in Sweden, biggest pussy state ever even more than swiss lol problem with my country is that majority chose to be pussies so when someone call my country a pussy nation I say, I am a lone dick among very few who try and get by in this fucked up state that even helped germany by supplying troops, weapons and helped them to use our trains to the Norweigan border our so called friends lol

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - Hmm. Well the Swedes are very lucky to have their flank against the Russians protected by the Finns.

Republican Finns are not pussies. They are very hard and managed to stop a Soviet attack, which is impossible for a small nation to do but somehow they did it!

Did some courageous Swedes volunteer to fight alongside the Finns to defend Scandinavia from the Soviets, or not?

We had Irish fighting alongside Britons in WW2 although the Republic of Ireland was neutral.

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

I agree and yes fins saved us, funny thing was back then, our country was willing to sell them out like we did a few hundred years before when we "gave" finland to russia for in return get support diplomaticly preventing others to stp us rom invading and taking over Norway lol

there were a few swedes who did help on their own sure, but whats scary is there were more Swedes that joined the SS during WW2...

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - You say you are from Sweden yet your channel profile says your country is "Switzerland"? Do you in fact have any idea where you are?

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

I am from Sweden, tjena hur är läget mannen? lol but I prefer to lie on all my details since I have gotten 1million death threats before from nazis, communists, muslims and even microsoft fanboys ;) lol I will unlock the friend thing, please try again man I am interested.

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

I guess the passengers were allowed to land and say their farewells to their families before they blew up eh? lol youguys are fags, just face it, only one who respects Scotland today are muslims, you think England respects you? lol they clapped and you jumped to their tune, the rest of the world? we are laughing at you, you might as well not call yourself a country anymore, or maybe change the name to new England or new lybia! if I ever wanna kill innocent people I will visit Scotland... sad!

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - Presumably if you want to kill innocent people you can do if from Switzerland like the Swiss banks do by banking for organised crime, dictators and fascist regimes like they did for the Nazis?

Oh not that I trust UK or other international banks particularly but at least they are here where we can get our hands round their throats when we finally get round to the revolution.

I expect they'll ask you Swiss to keep their gold for them then.

[Darmokjaladtanagra]

Scotland officially a pussy state with no backbone, what a bunch of cowards you are! you are seriously a joke, you piss on the graves of your own people and spit in the faces of their relatives, and to top it all of you do it for ENGLAND ROFL WOW lol do you guys even got balls left in scotland? or do you eat your own balls over a plate of haggis nowadays?

[ScottishStandard]

Darmokjaladtanagra - Scotland is ruled by the Queen's state, the United Kingdom and we Scots are enslaved by the Queen's officers who are on our backs, breaking our backbones and they are extra heavy because the royalists are being supported diplomatically and militarily by the USA's presidents refusing to help republicans here to overthrow the UK.

If you are looking for pussies take a look at the Swiss who didn't fight the Nazis to free Europe.

It's not over. Scots WILL be free.

[gnostical]

@Darmokjaladtanagra I bet ONE single scot has got more pride and courage than everyone in your country. All you are is a pathetic kid who if we met in real life would probably cry and not say a word just like your country's people, your country is nothing and so are you. Scotland showed the biggest backbone of all by releasing the lockerbie bomber even though england AND america tried to STOP them doing it , and i bet if it was your country you would have bent over and done what you were told.

[met3afleg]

Long live LIBYA.. LIBYANS what a great nation!!!

[Paghira1410]

You all seem to forget - before lockerbie there was a bomber attack - the 2 biggest cities in libya were hitten (Tripolis & Benghasi). How much people died this time. No one could be so coldhearted to give his family the chance to say good by to him before he dies

[roseipk]

Why is America always involved in so much of the worlds problems???

[aqinthe]

@roseipk Beacause It was an American plane and Americans wre killed. Go troll somewhere else retard.

[roseipk]

@aqinthe Not only Americans were killed !!..or do only Americans matter???11 Scottish people were killed on the ground that night in Lockerbie...my son was almost one of them.!!

[aqinthe]

@roseipk It was the Scottish goverment that let him go and BP supported it . How is that Americas fault?

If Americans get killed America gets involved. How do you know that the U.S. would have not gotten involved if it was a forgien plane? That is a big assumption on you're part.

I guess everything is the fault of the U.S. Even what the Scottish goverment does on it's own.

[pluto4847]

@aqinthe

Agreed with your latest comment. America is always being blamed for nothing.

[ScottishStandard]

I am Libyan you know what! I just hope that the British and the Americans close their embassies, oil firms and just leave the country. BTW, take Migrahi with them to die in prison as we are sick of this shit really...

[comraderoman]

check out my new blog post Welcome: President of the United States of Africa Muammar Al-Gaddafi, I am working on a pro-Gaddafi UN rally for this Sept to oppose the right wing rallies against him nopolicestatecoalition . blogspot . com

[Stevo641]

I think people from Libya are intereseting.

They cheer Gadaffi as an idol. And they cheer the bomber as an idol.

Idols in Islam? I think NOT

Err. And they claim to live in a country with an "Islamic Revolution"

How lame is that?

[KernelThread]

those people who cheer Migrahi are his tribe. Certainly not all the Libyans

[markscott7777777]

Come on FBI Director Mueller, after you have washed the stink of 911 off your hands, please come to Scotland, with xiola696969, and LaReinaDel Barrio, and tell us using a loud speaker in George Sq in Glasgow, just how dissappointed you are with us scots.

I mean, i really want to see you do this !!

We have compassionate release and US government have Guantanamo !

You probably wont need a loud hailer, from my experience of George Sq, you can hear americans coming a mile off.

[ScottishStandard]

markscott7777777 - Mueller didn't say he was disappointed in us Scots. He did seem to be disappointed to say the very least with Kenny MacAskill though.

Only a royalist twit who thinks the Queen's ministers speak for Scots would think MacAskill's decisions are democratic decisions of the Scots. MacAskill's decisions are his own and those of his Queen.

Americans should send special forces to Scotland - but not to George Square - to Balmoral perhaps or wherever the Queen is - to shoot her!

[TomPayne101]

As a Scot, born and bred, I am not happy with the release but then |I wasn't happy with the conviction either. What you have to understand is that the rule of law has been observed.

There is no proviso under Scots Law that allows the law to be overturned if it makes Americans angry.

And what ever reception Megahri got in Tripoli is out of the hands of the US UK Scotland and indeed Meghari himself.

Isn't it about time the US understood that other countries have other laws.

[yourcamden]

Perhaps as only circumstantial evidence was presented in court, one day we might find he was entirely innocent.

[695627]

moany dumbass yanks, jealous of the contracts signed by uk before their greedy mitts got there.

[musicaykay]

the same Richard Mueller who helped the hijackers on 911

[kaltik12]

LaReinaDelBarrio at least we had an empire. ure history was built by the irish and scottish. and american cars, there fuckin shite

[OldTommyFlynns]

Haha Kaltik, you forget that the British empire was also built by the scots and Irish. Actually, more so than the Americans. 1/3 of the Brit soldiers in WW1 were Irish - as an example.

[dolcelucre]

Proud of the compassion of the legal system of my country. I am happy that this dying man has been returned to his family in time to make his farewells. Scotland Lives in this wonderful compassionate decision. Tommy, Edinburgh.

[tocaloshie]

How many Nazi's did the U.S. "Let Go" after 1945, purely because they were helpful to the U.S? Wernher Von Braun is one that comes to mind, a former member of the S.S. and used slave labour in his rocket factories, buy hey presto all that was forget when the Yanks took him to the U.S. I stopped listening to what the Yanks had to say years ago, because all they deal in is "Double Standards"

[teufelkim]

wow, so two wrongs make a right? You are such a fool.

Are you the village idiot?

[trollfinger]

Operation paperclip if I remember correctly. See how many Nazi's worked in Nasa ? And the UN funded food group Codex Alimentarius was brought up by the guy who made the gas and built the camps for extermination.

[ronald2394]

Why doesnt the FBI boss take a look at Quantinimo bay and torture on Cuban soil because they have not got the balls to do it in the USA. or why the Americans shot down an Iranian airliner or why the stinking CIA scumbags infiltrate nearly every country in the world to keep the interests of America up to date. Why they can go to countries in the world and blow the fuck out of them and expect no comeback. Or support Isreal who kill at random. They wonder why people hate them so much. Fools

[markscott7777777]

Come on, tell us then ! When is director Mueller coming !

[markscott7777777]

Is there a deal ! That the FBI will ever investigate the FED !

Scheming Dodgy Banksters that has destroyed the worlds economy !

Sort your own house out !

" What are you going to do, Wallace "

" I am going to pick a fight "

Freedom !!!!!

[ScottishStandard]

markscott7777777 - The lines you are quoting from Braveheart were written by the American writer Randall Wallace.

Wallace would be picking a fight with MacAskill for releasing our enemy and a mass-murderer of the Scots back to a hero's welcome by Longshanks Gaddafi.

[markscott7777777]

Opinions vary !

Please keep yours to yourself !

I will keep mine to myself when you take down your comments page !

The guy is going to be dead by X-mas if not sooner and you can all have a party then !

[markscott7777777]

We all know that all the FBI is good for is NOT investigating the FED !!!.

FBI !, Freeze Sucka !

Where is your compassion, the prick is going to be dead before christmas.

Any pissed off Americans will be able to toast his demise, if you can find it in your christian compassionate hearts.

We cordially invite the FBI Director Mueller, to visit one of the more salubrious nieghbourhoods of Scotland and continue to spout your shite !

Come On, Do It, See What Happens !

[jameze1992]

how does it give comfort to terrorists? The only reason they let him go home is so he could die amongst his family. Hes going to die anyway what is so important about where he dies? Are we so barbarick that we have to lower ourselves to his standard by mercilessly killing innocent people? Are we really that bad to make him suffer as everyone else did ?

[IslamIsSlavery]

I hope someone murders Browns family, then they can release them too. What a fucking asshole and Scotland and GB suck. Fucking Brits suck off Muslims all day long, they are the just different ends of the same turd.

[CORGICODE3]

Imagine having that wealth and that taste in fabrics..........only way to look at this cause otherwise the pot is calling the kettle black. The two biggest political hypocrits getting on to the least offensive country in the world. By the way Americans are welcome but please please will the English just get back home.

[xiola696969]

if you think the director of the fbi was just blowing smoke thats about the same dumb mistake when you thought you could control us. We pride ourselves on the rule of law and justice here in America; He wont escape justice so easily,

[xiola696969]

lucky him its not my family that he did this too, because I have the money and resources to kill him and would if my family was disgraced by such actions. I would worry someone who was killed is a rich as me and will seek personal vengeance and justice. Actually in-fact I hope someone dose to show the world wrong isnt tolerated.

[jameze1992]

what and that makes you a better person? That makes you better then him by doing exactly what he did commiting murder? and WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE !? HE IS GOING TO DIE !!! and justice ? in america? HAHA how is killing someone for them killing someone justice? it isn't justice that is revenge and revenge is as low as it gets and everyone deserves the right to live that is why its a human right.

[crazystarwarsguy1006]

Surely in American terms he served a vicious sentence compared to the guy who took the rap for the My Lai mini genocide who got 3 years cable and pizza deliveries .

[xiola696969]

You dont rule the world? Did you think America was going to let you let a mass murder walk free? One that killed so many of our citizens? You where very foolish indeed then, I am sure the plans of how to covertly kill him are being formed by the FBI and navy seals as I write this. Good luck on the oil deal may you rot in hell UK, USA will be foreign oil independent in 10 years good luck keeping up with us then. Goggle NIF once our star is built it will be as revolutionary as our A-Bomb

[Kalsingh]

Just like the USA, We GB have to think about ourselves. We have oil in Scotland, and we now have Libya. They have the most oil in Africa. You do not rule the world, and (we have, and still do to an extent, the commonwealth)

Megrahi will never be killed, if you believe that, you've been watching to many films!

Toodle Pip! ;)

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Your queen George lost the colonies. Your queen on Top Gear can't stop ragging on American cars.

[tocaloshie]

Your A Bomb? You seem to forget that it was The British not the U.S. that first split the atom. Also when the A Bomb was being developed at Los Alamos a fair number of the Scientists on the project were British. So before you start spouting your rubbish, first get your historical facts correct.

[xiola696969]

Compassion, For the 270 murdered by this man?

Compassion for the 270+ families that lost loves ones because of this man ?

You have only shown compassion to the man responsible for all their pain and suffering and show horrible injustice to the victims of this crime. I feel much pain for the families killed and destroyed by this man and the horrible act of injustice done here today in the name of compassion

[Kalsingh]

IR655 - Look this up, and tell me why yank blood is worth more. It's not, you killed hundreds of Iranians on that flight, and then stated it was an 'accident' yes of course it was. Then decorated those dogs that participated in it. This was justice, then only kind you lot understand.

[xiola696969]

You have shown the dead no respect and the families of them no respect or compassion sir. You frankly deserve death and so dose that bastard you let free. If it where any of my family lost in this I would give you both just that. Be it your lucky stars it is not my family you disgraced by letting him free or you would already be a dead man. I commend the FBI comments, Assembly the navy seal strike team our families will have justice not an oil deal.

[markscott7777777]

Xioal696969 3 days ago !!

You said and i quote " assemble the navy seal strike team "

What a fucking dickhead !! Funny though !!

[batterseaspark]

this is bullshit, if the yanks wanted al megrahi to remain in prison,remain in prison he would,make no mistake.! we do what they fucking tell us! brown has deflected it [cowardly,traitorous cunt] on to his own. he cant be seen sucking cock in public,..meantime the release is sure to stir up the hollywood brainwashed walking dead of the u.s. into blind rage whilst its govt. furthers some deviant plan ..unseen!! wake up u.s. the emperor is wearing no clothes.[bama a puppet not his fault].blessya!

[fileclear]

the english and scottish governments are smart and know what to do and what will happen they didnt release him under compassionate grounds because that wouldnt be called politics theres deals worth billions of £££££ and as we can see USA didnt get a piece of the cake

[Kalsingh]

It's about time we resorted to out colonial ways. Yanks have been doing behind the scene deals over years. Well, now was the time to begin to think of ourselves.

[fileclear]

the english and scottish governments are smart and know what to do and what will happen they didnt release him under compassionate grounds because that wouldnt be called politics theres deals worth billions of £££££

[Larkvall]

Canadians died on that flight too.

I won't be visiting Scotland any time soon. Seems they prefer the friendship of terrorists!

[rickelmonoggin]

The US government position is disgusting: They think that Colonel Gadaffi is responsible for the Lockerbie bombing, yet they are prepared to make oil deals with him, whilst turning Mr Megrahi, mere cog in the machine, as a scapegoat.

At least the Scottish government have acted with moral-consistency. The word 'compassion' seems to have disappeared from the American lexicon; ironic for a supposedly 'Christian' nation.

[44news]

Justice should be for all, and justice should be seen done, even though the heavens fall, the scots are a weak breed, no doubts

[Kalsingh]

When that ghastly Gerry Adams the IRA terrorist was invited into the White House, he was given a hero's welcome too. Why the double standards you dogs? Haha, we showed you. You don't MESS with the British Empire!

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Two words for you mate: TEA PARTY. And what Empire?  You've got precious little of it left.

[twinturbine]

The FBI's former director has NO PLACE commenting on Scottish law.

It was the right to sentence a convicted criminal and it was the right to release a terminally ill man on compassionate grounds. Scotland (and the UK for the matter) are places founded on compassion, NOT vengeance.

That is what makes us better than our enemies and better than the US. It is what will see us prevail.

"mockery of justice"...unlike Guantanamo Bay eh? piss off you incompatant joke of a security agency.

I agree mattfirevai - the US security agencies have thrown away the Geneva convention and now there moralising. Interesting to note that the FBI have set a precedent here by writing to the Scottish SoS. "Methinks thou dost protest too much!"

There's something fishy going on.
