I see our cousins across the pond have beat us with their recent Bonnie & Clyde couple.

Pity Moat's fiancee wasn't his cousin too.
I read the news today oh boy! Page 205
Quote: AngieBaby @ August 20 2010, 10:11 PM BSTIt puzzles that the US is so upset about Al Megrahi's release.
He killed a few hundred Americans, BP negotiated his release based upon bullshit humanitarian reasons, he was met with a hero's welcome and he's still alive long after he was supposed to be dead. I can't understand the outrage, either.
'Bullshit humanitarian reasons.' That's fantastic DaButt. Are you a hawk or a dove?
I think the thinking behind the 'bullshit humanitarian reason' for releasing him is that most of the people in the know know that he didn't do it. Unfortunately like a lot of terrorist activity there is a pubic version of events and a real version of events.
I know what you mean though, it is fairly disgraceful that the c**t hasn't died yet. Perhaps he should immolate himself?

Brrrz! Wrong answer.
He murdered people on behalf of the Libyan government. Then he was released to die quickly at home and was greeted with a hero's welcome but has yet to die. Imagine that!
At least BP can get back to the business of making money ...

That is the bullshit.

No, it's business as usual. Too bad he didn't die as quickly as everyone had hoped.
Following Blair's freidnship with Gadaffi, there would have been dozens of British (and by extension and association, other American and other Western) companies who may have stood to gain from Megrahi's release. It doesn't mean that they had anything to do with securing it actually happening.
Like it or not, you and your politicians need to accept that under Scottish law, his release was all but required.

I said people 'in the know' Dabutt, not the battery-farmed twats at the end of a news cable.

Required, but f**king shameful. So was the reception in Libya.

The forensics work was world-class. Too bad the other shithead didn't serve time, too.

Probably so, yes.

Undoubtedly.

Well that was an awfully sad thing to read when I was looking for a cheery tune.

If he worked in IT, I might suspect they'd tracked Griff down.

I read that last night when I was drunk and wept like a child for about 10 minutes. Seemingly it wasn't just the booze because when I was talking about it earlier with my friend, I cried again.
