Freed Mass Murderer Shows No Remorse

Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi, the sole man convicted of the 1988 Pan Am jetliner bombing, killing 270 innocent people is enjoying his freedom while rejoicing with family members. In the photo, he is holding hands with Seif al-Islam (right) who is the son of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhaif. Megrahi shows no remorse, while family members are reliving the death of their loved ones.

Megrahi, 57, gaunt and graying, was freed from a Scottish prison last week and proclaims his innocence. "This was my hope and wish - to be back with my family before I pass away, I always believed I would come back if justice prevailed."

Megrahi was allowed to return to Libya because he is said to only have months left to live due to prostate cancer. He will also be celebrated at the 40th anniversary of the military coup that swept Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafito power next month.

The Pan Am bomber was greeted by thousands of Libyans cheering, waving flags and throwing flower petals at Tripoli's airport as he arrived home.

U.S. President Barack Obama criticized this as "highly objectionable." FBI director Robert Mueller wrote in a letter to Scottland's government, "Your action makes a mockery of the grief of the families who lost their own on December 21, 1988." Mueller also said "Megrahi's release would give comfort to terrorists all over the world."

This mass killer is released and being celebrated as the friends and family members of all 270 people killed in the 1988 disaster mourn.

    He was welcomed like a hero. That makes me sick.

    Hmmmm...Too bad he won't be greeted on the other side by 270 maggot-ridden corpses waiting to welcome him home. Unfortunately, I hear that those who have died adopt the attitude of forgiveness. Bravo to the leaders of Scotland for their bravery in the face of staunch objections. They certainly have balls under those skirts.

    Sweet Little Angel, the 270 maggot-ridden corpses is the best karma you could possibly think of to make this terrorist wish he hadn't planted that bomb. Mona, it's amamzing what goes on behind the name of oil.

    Oil! I was wondering what the reason(s) might be behind this aura of compassion.
