Letting him go shows what seperates us from the terrorists... COMPASION!!! Do you want to be no better than those who do you wrong??? Or has the "Lead by example" ideology been tossed out with window???

With all due respect, this has nothing to do with being "better" or compassion or revenge or any other irrelevant notion. It has to do with simple justice. His body should have been returned after his natural death in prison and not one day before.

how in the world could that judge in scotland ever let that mass murderer to go free? you say its compassion? where is the compassion for the families who lost loved ones on that flight? let him go home to die? i agree with john-after he died in prison-not a day sooner.
compassion- for the mass murderer and none for the families of lost loved ones-come to think of it, that scottish judge had no compassion for their own citizens that were killed on the ground. step down judge-you really blew it there.
