This pisses me off. The guy who was convicted of bombing a Pan Am flight that killed 259 people (189 of them US citizens) was released by Scottish authorities today because he has terminal prostate cancer.

From the article: "Defying intense pressure from the U.S. government, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill chose to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi on "compassionate grounds," reasoning that he should be allowed to be with his family"

So the guy goes home to Libya and is greeted like a hero and gets to spend is last days among friends and family.

I know keeping him in jail until he dies won't bring back the dead, but to me this is just s slap in the face to all the families and friends of the people who died on that plane.
