This makes me SICK !!
AND then to have it televised that he was welcomed home as a hero for what he did.
If the man has cancer, I can see the jail letting his family visit him but letting him go was a HUGE slap in the face to the families that lost their loved ones on that plane.
It also sends the wrong message in general to people who commit these kinds of crime. Life should be life, whether you die of old age or something else. If you get life then they should be carrying your body out feet first when you leave the jail, NOT letting you go free so you can be the poster child for terrorism.
As far as I know he's maintained his innocence and it appears many in Britian believe he's innocent. Can't ask for forgiveness for something you didn't do. I'm just intrigued by the comments by the Rev. that lost a family member. I personally couldn't care less about what another country does with a prisoner already on his death bed. Your feeling of fear is just indicative of your well documented paranoia.
It doesn't surprise me that you would side with a convicted murderer. Not at all. In fact, if I had read the OP and had to take a gander, I would have bet that you would have sided with a murderer.
"But a 2007 review of his case raised the prospect that al-Megrahi had been the victim of a miscarriage of justice, and many in Britain believe that he is innocent.
The Rev. John Mosey, whose daughter Helga, 19, died in the attack, said Wednesday he would be glad to see al-Megrahi return home.
"It is right he should go home to die in dignity with his family. I believe it is our Christian duty to show mercy," he said."
I'm curious how religious wingnuts feel about this.

If he is so innocent why was he given a hero's welcome when he got home ??
He got that welcome for having successfully murdering so many people, most of which were Americans.
i love how it is basically liberal policy to support terrorists and bash Christians. what great people you libs are.
I'm a liberal and I would have like to see this man strung up by his testicals in the village square.
Its too bad this man wasn't transported back to the US to be prosecuted under Federal law so that they could have put the SOB to death with the rest of the trash.
Making sweeping generalizations about a group sort of shows how wrong you are.
