U.K. Pressured Scots to Release Lockerbie Bomber Out of Concern for Oil Deal, Report Finds
Fear of "commercial warfare" from Libya led the British government to pressure Scotland to free the convicted Lockerbie bomber last year, reads a report being released Tuesday by four U.S. senators.
The lengthy report, which calls on the British and Scottish governments to apologize for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's release, concludes that a $900 million oil deal with Libya ultimately paved the way for the Scottish justice system to free al-Megrahi in August 2009.
The report says that faulty medical analysis was used to justify his release on "compassionate" grounds, a decision described as a crass component of a complicated trade relationship between the United Kingdom and Libya.
"The U.K. government played a direct, critical role in al-Megrahi's release," the report states. "The U.K. knew that in order to maintain trade relations with Libya, it had to give into political demands."

and this is news, why?? Everyone with a brain knew the Brits cooked up that whole deal, and then Libya laughed in their faces. I think the guy in question is in the middle of a miraculous recovery. Praise Allah!

Exactly. How about raping your country? THAT is socially acceptable to that bunch of turds. Their attitude is that we expect them to do it and we should just sit back and enjoy it.Pudfark wrote:In the context of this thread? Rape is the lesser crime....oFZo wrote:Rape = a lesser crime?!?

I know a lady that was beaten and repeatedly raped by a piece of shit. She managed to get loose, grab her pistol, and shoot him in the crotch 6 times. She was charged with murder and no billed by the grand jury.
When asked why she shot him six times, she told them the gun only held six bullets and if it had held thirty, she'd have used them.
She's a cool chick.
