On 20 August 2009 I wrote a piece on my blog called “Misplaced Compassion” as I watched in disbelief the images of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi being release from a Scottish prison and being flown to Tripoli on Gheddafi’s personal jet.
The news and the actual release left me almost speechless: here was the terrorist responsible for the death of 270 innocent people on Pan Am flight 103 and the small town of Lockerbie, Scotland, Christmas 1988, being set free on a compassion basis, because supposedly suffering from terminal cancer. After spending only eight years of a life sentence in a Scottish prison.
The man was supposed to have only three months to live at the most and the bleeding hearts of the Scottish Court deemed to be a humanitarian gesture to allow him to die in his own country instead that in a prison cell. All the apologists were thrilled by the decision, praising Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.
This was last August, and the London based Dr. Karol Sikora had examined al-Megrahi and diagnosed that he would be dead by October 2009.
The problem lies in the fact that successive investigations showed that the good doctor had been “encouraged” to make the diagnosis by British governmental officials. See, it appears that Libya had threatened the British government to rescind on some oil deals if al-Megrahi would die in prison. So the British government caved.
On 25 February 2010 the UK Telegraph reports that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi is currently living in a luxury villa in Tripoli, enjoying a peaceful garden and a nice tent where visitors and well wishers can congregate and praise the mass muderer.
So, do you believe in miracles? I hope this miraculous story of survival of a man that should have been dead in October will convince you that Allah is great.
At the time this scumbag was flying across the Mediterranean to his destination in Libya, I was really hoping for a couple of F-18s allowing the man to find out the same type of fear that he had condemned 270 innocent people to experience that faithful night over Scotland, but obviously the Obama administration could not bring itself to do what was right.
So the man is living in luxury with his family, probably receiving the accolades of the entire terror community for not only having killed 270 men, women and children, but also for having beaten the Western judicial system.
The culture of death prevailed once again over the culture of life.
On our side of the Atlantic, the Obama administration, via AG Holder and sec. Napolitano, have placed our country on the same fast track to a surrender to the same forces of evil that Europe has been on for some time. Obama wants America to be more like Europe!
Giving the masterminds of 9-11 a day in criminal court, especially in a court just down the street from the site where their act was perpetrated, would not be much different than the outrageous release of this terrorist because it would allow the terrorists the chance to beat the system in our backyard and at our expenses.
Now a word regarding the families of those lost on that infamous day. I have the bad habit to put myself in other people shoes and if in this case my rage reaches levels threatening implosion, I can only imagine what the families must feel as they keep on waiting for the day this piece of garbage will finally go meet his 72 virgins. And waiting, only to realize that the compassion shown to this evil man was, as mentioned, grossly misplaced.
Wouldn’t be exhilarating if a Tomahawk would find its way to that tent in the garden of that Tripoli villa? Wouldn’t that message be loud and clear?
Just my thoughts!

It is very noticeable that newspapers in the UK that have online editions vary significantly from their 'Scottish Editions'. This is particularly the case if the subject of an article involves party politics or is controversial. Several years ago US newspapers closed their offices in the UK on grounds of cost and used agency reports as the basis for any articles. Many of these reports concerning Scotland were lifted from newspapers printed and published outwith Scotland and therefore contained a London-centric bias (even major elements in the Scottish press are willing participants in this sort of misinformation). This causes a 'domino effect' of wrong information resulting in, sometimes hostile, disagreement.
ReplyDeleteThe following are extracts from the medical report by the Medical Officer at Greenock Prison regarding the application for compassionate release by Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi -
"It is very difficult to be precise on matters of prognosis for any disease and Mr Megrahi's condition is no different....
...The clinical assessment, therefore, is that a 3 month prognosis is now a reasonable estimate for this patient...
...we do not believe he would represent a risk to himself or anyone else."

Since the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 24 applications for compassionate release have been granted as they satisfied ALL the criteria. A further 7 applications have been refused.
It would be interesting to know your thoughts about the following -

Personally, it is not my concern nor I care much about the love fight between the Scottish media and the London media. Here in the States we have enough problems already dealing with our own. The only comment I have regarding the Media in general is that they have become so engrossed in their own percieved power that they are not better than politicians, and that in my opinion is bad enough.
ReplyDeleteI read the blog regarding the accusations that the CIA brought down Pan Am 103 to take out a wistleblower that was returning to the US to expose the agency's dirty deeds. My comment to that with all the resources at the disposal of the CIA, if they wanted to silence one canary, they could have done so without killing so many innocents. The man could have disappeared anywhere in Europe and nobody would have known or cared.
Everyone with a vivid immagination and a bone to pick can formulate theories that may make for a good movie script, but do not impress me in real life.
Sorry.
Just a slight correction to the link for the medical report on Megrahi -
