It's not about what he deserves unless you are revengeful, it's about the high morals & standards that we uphold ourselves to treat others how we want to be treated.

Well if I ever blow up a plane and kill a bunch of people, I want to be treated like a criminal and be killed.

I've only just read the letter from the FBI Director ; its language is intemperate and wholly unsuited for diplomatic purposes. I'd by surprised if its text had been approved by State Department careerists.
Sounds like it's been cooked up by Hillary Clinton and British Labour apparatchiks as a tool by which to smackdown the Scottish Government. That being the case US officials are now not only interfering in the Scottish judicial system, they're also playing in our domestic politics too.
And that is unacceptable to any nation.
Like I said in another thread ... USA butt out ... it really is that simple.

I think it's already clear that I find your values repugnant. At one time, I'm told, I was a hand-wringer also, then I watched school buses blow up in Judea and Samaria. Your philosophy is now just the faint sound of barking dogs. Terrorists and those who support terrorists belong in that muddy field, and quite frankly, any other form of justice is for those not interested in real justice.

Of course. The US is trying to arrange another Culloden. There is a stereotype among some intelligence circles in the US that Scots are the last believers in Trotskyism. I was hoping some of the posters could refute that.

I don't know much about this story. Why is it this man is getting a hero's welcome?
Doesn't say much about Libya to me.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, so you have to understand their jubilance. Have some empathy.

I certainly don't want to indicate that all Scots are morally defective, but many of the ones heard from on this board seem to seriously equate terrorists with freedom fighters. If you really can't tell the difference, then any reasonable attempt at communication is lost. You continue to squeal and we will continue to take out the trash on your behalf.

One terrorist, one bullet. No suffering. That's compassion. From our side of the pond, it looks like your nation has "compassioned" itself into becoming Britistan. What's the difference between London and Islamabad? Weather.
