Kevin McKenny, in the Guardian, writes approvingly of the release by Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill of Libyan terrorist/murderer Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al Magrahi, ascribing his release to compassion, but which we now know was a deal for Libyan oil. Magrahi and his Libyan accomplices in the Libyan Intelligence Services killed all 259 men, women and children on board Pan Am flight 103 that December night in 1988 over Lockerbie, Scotland, plus 11 Scottish civilians on the ground. Convicted by a Scottish court on 31 January 2001 and sentenced to life imprisonment, Magrahi was released on 20 August 2009, after serving almost 8 years and 7 months, approximately 3,125 days, or about 11.6 days in prison for each victim he murdered. German soldiers used to call the kilted Scotties “The Ladies From Hell”. Now they’re just ladies, feminized, emasculated, cynical, gutless men, willing to let a mass murderer go for thirty barrels of oil. Damn shame.
If I were a wee Scottish bairn
And MacAskill were my daddy
I’d ask about that tiny cairn
That holds the tiny laddy
Who in an airplane with his mom
Was killed in our own Lockerbie
By killers with a Libyan bomb
And in what is a mockery
Is now set free by my own dad
Who says it was compassion
When what that killer should’ve had
Was a good stropping thrashin’
But all is well, so I have heard
Qaddafi’s oil is coming
And I’ve been told by wee small bird
That trade will soon be humming
So maybe things will turn out well
They say the killer’s dying
And everyone says what the hell
The guy will soon be frying
But those who say that don’t believe
There is a hell or heaven
And they of course will never grieve
For a little boy of seven
