The son of Muammar al-Gaddafi is throwing a party for a man who was supposed to be dead according to the Scottish government. Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi will get down with Saif Gadaffi in a blatant slap in the face to the families of the people killed in the Lockerbie bombings.
Saif Gadaffi, whose friends include Tony Blair and Lord Mandelson, will attend the revelry for Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi in his two-storey house in Tripoli.
He will foot the bill for food and drink, following a day’s fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
When Megrahi, 58, was released on August 20 last year, Scottish authorities said he had only three months to live and was ‘going home to die’.
Frank Duggan, a lawyer and spokesman for the families of the 270 victims of the Lockerbie bombing, said: ‘Megrahi is obviously still deemed a hero in Libya.
‘Saif Gadaffi was instrumental in pulling off a public relations masterstroke to get him released on the 40th anniversary of the Libyan revolution.
Stay classy, Libya.
Are there any grownups who are willing to step up in Scotland and demand some answers from the government who released this murderous terrorist on “humanitarian” grounds? Are there any people of good will there who will demand a real accounting of how this travesty was approved?
Don’t bet on it at this point.
I have been reading that the White House backed the release of the Lockerbie Bomber.

State Dept has since tried to backtrack, but given 0bama’s Moslem heritage, I tend to beleive The Australian.
The officials in Scotland who released the terrorist should serve out his sentence. Fair is fair.
