When 50,000+ dead or disappeared cannot find justice, someone still around does it on their behalf.

Is that justice or revenge?

This murderer had a choice which he did not make and fell victim of what was inevitably coming to him either way. I cannot imagine that he had a credible excuse that would have exonerated him had he been brought to justice at the Hague.

The redeeming factor is that he met his end by the hands of his own people and not by a court made up of ‘biased’ foreign judges.

Oh come on! Get a grip (as Daphne said). I am surprised (as Daphne said) that he was still recognisable.

Frankly, I was expecting much worse after all the pain he had put his people through.

Sometimes, it is natural law which governs and, certainly, natural law does not dictate a more fitting end to the man who brought so many families to their knees and graves.

You are not only excusing, but praising summary execution. No sound or fair minded person could possibly support such a position. This sort of treatment (along with torture and detention without trial) is that which has traditionally been used by the worst tyrants and those whom the West claims to be different to.

On a final point, the original investigation into the Lockerbie bombing was looking towards Iran and the PFLP-GC. The evidence presented is flawed and totally unreliable. Take a look at the Iran Air 655 incident for a real motive.

[Daphne – Get a grip.]

And as Thatcher said, just rejoice.

I’m glad, as everybody else, that the monster is dead, and what pleased me even more is that he was caught while hiding in a sewer just like the rat he was.

On the other hand I would have preferred if he had been put on trial. I am sure we would have heard some very interesting things,like for example the names of some of his. exfriends,who now proclaim themselves as his enemies, the names of some European leaders who recieved money for their campaigns, like Sarkosy and more.

I believe it was in nobody’s interest for him to be kept alive, and the report that he was killed in a crossfire is just a coverup for what really happened.
