Muscatine

You have chosen to release a convicted terrorist who took many American lives with his cowardly act. 

You are now on your own.  If the Chinese invade your country, please do not call.  If the Russians, Iranians, or any other nation decides that you are to be overthrown, we will not help you.  Your decision to release this man is beyond contempt.  Your "compassion" is misdirected.  This is a man who should have been left to die in a hole in the ground. 

I yearn for the day when President Reagan might have sent a few fighter jets to meet the plane carrying this coward as it neared Libya. 

Why there was a hero's welcome in Libya...

"Until 2003 Libya had never formally admitted carrying out the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. On 16 August 2003 Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. Felicity Barringer of The New York Times said that the letter had "general language that lacked any expression of remorse" for the people killed in the bombing. The letter stated that it "accepted responsibility for the actions of its officials".
