We're coming up on six months for a man released from prison to live out his final three: Six Months Later, Pan Am Bomber is Still Alive

The terrorist who helped bomb Pan Am flight 103 is still alive - and free - in Libya nearly six months after Scotland released the mass murderer from prison on 'compassionate' grounds.

Scottish officials had said Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi would die within three months from prostate cancer when they announced they would set him free. But nearly six months later, al-Megrahi is still calling in about twice a month from Libya to authorities in Scotland as part of the terms of his release.

"It has almost become comical," said Bert Ammerman who lost his brother in the bombing. "I have to laugh that he has to phone in that he is following his probation terms. This is a complete insult. Shame on Scotland. Shame on the White House."

Convicted terrorist Megrahi was set free back on August 21. He had been sentence to life in prison after being convicted in 2001. When he landed home in Libya, he was greeted by cheering crowds at the Tripoli airport, some waving Libyan and Scottish flags...

Not to worry, Megrahi has the horrid burden of having to check in by phone every couple weeks. Amusing op-ed at the Scottish Sun:

LET'S rewind to August.

And a moment during the Megrahi debate when you could actually hear the tumbleweed rolling through Kenny MacAskill's head.

It came when Labour MSP Ken Macintosh asked what happens if the Lockerbie bomber failed to show up for the monthly video conference that was part of his release terms.

The following silence felt like an Ice Age, before the Justice Secretary replied: "I have returned him to Libya to die."

There then followed a second silence, broken only by that tumbleweed rolling from ear to ear...

No need for anyone to worry that there's anyone left in officialdom to make a stink, though. All is getting back to normal: High profile US trade mission heading to Libya

The above video shows the RAG called the saltire, the "flag" of scotland, waving to welcome home the MURDERER of 270 people.

Nice going scottish SCUMBAGS.

Show COMPASSION for the VICTIMS of Pan AM 103.

There's a Euro MP from Scotland who wants the trade mission will succeed so we'll all go back to eating haggis. MEP Catherine Stihler is having meetings with US Congress to persuade them to lift a ban on the traditional Scots dish.

Haggis? Haggis. (Regardless of what you've heard, Nappy assures you that despite it's consistency, color and texture, haggis is not made from meadow muffins found out in the sheep pasture.)

He SHOULD have been released; 5 days AFTER he died. Just to be certain he was actually dead.

I cannot believe Scotland did this.

This says it all.

Show scotland there are consequences to their perfidy.

"Scottish officials had said Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi would die within three months ..."

That is absolute nonsense. NO SUCH A STATEMENT WAS EVER MADE.

When Kenny MacAskill cited the 3 month prognosis he was referring to the medical report of the Medical Officer at Greenock Prison which states -

"The clinical assessment, therefore, is that a 3 month prognosis is now a reasonable estimate for this patient."

The inaccuracies in the article Six months later, Pan Am bomber is Still Alive are further compounded by quoting the asinine remarks of that gutless moron Robert Mueller, currently Director of the FBI. Go to http://freewebs.com/fbiblog/ 'FBI CHIEF TERRORIST'. Read paragraph 2).

Well Qaddafi is saying Libya didn't do it but copped to the crime for political reasons:

Obviously I have no way of knowing whether this is true or not.

But, if somebody else did the foul deed, maybe the case should be reopened?

Yeah, they've been saying that since they first paid out. Still, the man convicted of the crime is Megrahi.

Libya's payment was chump change for them.

When Daffy-Qaddaffi speaks, you know he's lying because his lips move. His disavowal calls to mind Groucho Marx's line: Who are you going to believe—me or your lying eyes?

Yes, Megrahi was convicted of the crime - but did he do it?. I think not. If a lie is repeated often enough it can come to be regarded as being fact.

The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission found documents among several other reasons that led it to believe that a miscarriage of justice could have occurred in the case of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi and referred his case back to the High Court. When the British Home Secretary realised that these documents might be cited in any future appeal he promptly issued a Public Interest Immunity Certificate to ensure that they never became public knowledge or were used in any appeal. What was in those documents?

"Just remember, especially in politics, that people who make statements as fact without knowing what they are talking about are just opening their mouth and letting their belly rumble."
