Sen Charles Schumer said Thursday that the Pan Am Flight 103 bomber should be transferred back to a Scottish prison. Schumer (D-NY) said the terminally ill Libyan bomber released last summer has lived longer than the three months upon which his release was contingent. (...) “The bottom line is Megrahi should have never been released in the first place, but it would be even more outrageous if...

Funny how words take on new meanings. ‘Lockerbie’ used to be a tiny hamlet in the West of Scotland before a PanAm plane came down in its fields, ‘Columbine’ was once an average high school
and ‘Laramie’ was an enormously popular 100-episode TV western in the black-and-white era. Nowadays Laramie is irrevocably connected with the brutal torture and murder...

His problem is that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, is, at time of writing, still defiantly alive in Libya, when he was supposed to be dead by now. When MacAskill released Megrahi in the teeth of world opinion, it was under the humanitarian convention whereby prisoners with less than three...

When al-Megrahi flew home to a hero's welcome in Libya, Member of Scottish Parliament Richard Baker recalls "universal outrage" among Scots at the sight of Scotland's...
