Well, Scifiboy you are not going to like my response. He should have gotten the death penalty

well, as you know, im opposed the Death Penalty in any situation, so no, I dont agree with that.

personally, so far as I can tell it is the decision of the Scottish government what to do with prisoners under there purview, so why the US and UK central government are involved is confusing to me, as for the decision itself, its a difficult one, I mean, he is gonna die anyway and he is no longer a threat to society...so I can understand the reasons to release him, though the Libiyan reaction was rather tactless given the circumstances. 

The U.S. government is involved because the majority of the people murdered on that plane were American.
