Subject: RE: BS: Lockerbie bombing fall-guy to go free?
Sorry, Ollie, you could not be more wrong! It is not a matter of revenge...it is a matter of justice. Of course you might think that all punishment is a form of revenge, so then we have nothing to discuss. He is the convicted killer of 200+ people, including some Scots on the ground. Mr. Bomber was lucky to be sentenced as he was; it was too lenient then, it is a farce now. By contrast, Bernard Madoff got 200X that sentence that for a non-violent crime (not that he doesn't deserve much if not all that sentence).

I know that he will never stand trial in this country, he will never serve another day in prison for that heinous, cowardly action, but one can dream.

I note that many posters here think he is not the guilty party--just check the title of the thread. It seems to me that anything that does not conform to your world view you reflexively believe is not true. Just an observation on my part.
