Revealed: Truth behind MacAskill's judgement

Lesson:  If we do anything to hinder or stop the terrorists, it helps the terrorists.  That makes so much sense.

How Kenny MacAskill reached Lockerbie bomber decision. | News Of The World:

JUSTICE Secretary Kenny MacAskill freed Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al- Megrahi over fears Scotland would suffer a terrorist backlash if he died behind bars. He believed Megrahi would have been seen as a MARTYR by Islamic extremists if he had been left to die in Greenock Prison. And last night a source close to the Cabinet Secretary said: “Kenny feared the repercussions would have haunted Scotland for a generation and more. “If Megrahi had died in a Scottish jail, we’d have seen burning Saltires across the Middle East.” MacAskill and SNP First Minister Alex Salmond are preparing to publish secret papers relating to the decision to send Megrahi – suffering from terminal prostate cancer – home to Libya on compassionate grounds.
