Today is a sad day.  My heart is heavy for the fam­i­lies of all the vic­tims aboard Pan Am Flight 103 — the worst ter­ror­ism dis­as­ter our nation ever faced prior to 9/11.  Abdel­baset Ali al-Megrahi, the Libyan ter­ror­ist who brought down the Pan Am flight enroute to the United States from Heathrow in Lon­don, gets to go home to his fam­ily to die “with dig­nity” from ter­mi­nal prostate cancer.

When he arrives in Tripoli, he will be hailed as a “hero” by his fel­low Islamists.  They will raise a statue in the town square in his honor.  That is how those wackos oper­ate and believe.  Who’s to say that he won’t strap on a bomb and tar­get a U.S. entity in Libya??  What’s to stop him from killing more Americans?? 

I keep hear­ing peo­ple say that it’s the “Chris­t­ian” thing to do…Well, there is a time for com­pas­sion and there is a time for jus­tice — read your Bible.  This is not the time for com­pas­sion.  He never showed remorse for what he did.  Proverbs 18:5 says, “It is not good to be par­tial to the wicked or to deprive the right­eous of jus­tice.”  This man is the epit­ome of the wicked.  Let­ting this man go is depriv­ing the fam­i­lies of the vic­tims of the jus­tice they deserve.

I have a per­sonal mes­sage to the Scot­tish Judge, Kenny MacAskill,  who approved his release on “com­pas­sion­ate grounds”:  You just betrayed the mem­o­ries of the fol­low­ing peo­ple who died on that flight…270 of them.  (Names are after the fold).  You also put the world at more risk by releas­ing a known ter­ror­ist.  May their blood now be on your hands as well.
