Impeach Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill

Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill. said Abdel Baset al-Megrahi's condition had deteriorated from prostate cancer. Al-Megrahi had only served some eight years of a life sentence, but MacAskill said he was bound by Scottish values to release him.

"Our belief dictates that justice be served but mercy be shown," MacAskill said, ruling that al-Megrahi "be released on compassionate grounds and be allowed to return to Libya to die."

"Some hurts can never heal, some scars can never fade," MacAskill said. "Those who have been bereaved cannot be expected to forget, let alone forgive ... However, Mr. al-Megrahi now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power."

Al-Megrahi, 57, was convicted in 2001 of taking part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988. He was sentenced to life in prison.

The airliner -- which was carrying mostly American passengers to New York -- blew up as it flew over Scotland. All 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground died when the aircraft crashed into the town of Lockerbie.

The former Libyan intelligence officer was sentenced to serve a minimum of 27 years in a Scottish prison for Britain's deadliest terrorist attack. But a 2007 review of his case found grounds for an appeal of his conviction, and many in Britain believe he is innocent.

Life time award for Kenny MacAskill, HEAD UP HIS ASS.

Vile , gutless, no compassion for the victims,

Now most with pancreatic cancer live 3 yrs or longer.

Impeach this IGNORANT SOB.

Boycott Scotland, are we to believe the Scotts

are gutless cowards?

Selling out for some OIL.

Western energy companies -- including Britain's BP PLC -- have moved into Libya in an effort to tap the country's vast oil and gas wealth.

Gadhafi has lobbied for the return of al-Megrahi, an issue which took on an added sense of urgency when he was diagnosed with cancer last year. His lawyers say his condition is deteriorating and doctors have given him less than three months to live. BS.

Scotland has to pay a price for this lack of intestinal fortitude,

Both economicly and politically.

Boycott Scotland, all things Scottish.

I've poured out my Scot whiskey.

This terrorist release brings shame on all Scotland.

Disgracefull.
