You Gotta Keep 'Em in Line

The United States said Monday it has asked Libya's new rebel leadership to re-examine the case of the Libyan convicted of the 1988 plane bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people.

  Raw Story

Jesus, could we let them finish their takeover first?

The United States has long criticized the decision by Scottish authorities in August, 2009 to release Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi early on grounds that they believed he had only months to live because of prostate cancer.

He remains alive more than two years later in Tripoli, although his brother said he is drifting in and out of a coma.

Yeah, well, we want him dead. Dead. Do you understand? Dead. We want more bloooooooooodddddd!

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland sounded hopeful that the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) would take another look at the case now that the rebels have overrun Moamer Kadhafi's regime in the capital Tripoli.

[...]

"Presumably, a new, free, democratic Libya would have a different attitude towards a convicted terrorist.

"So it is in that spirit that the TNC will look at this case. I cannot speak to what decisions will be made," she added.

Oh, bullshit, Victoria. You know damned well what decision will be made. It’s part of their initiation rites into the American empire.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
