Mohmet al-Megrahi

For some utterly baffling reason, the reaction to the release of the lone Lockerbie assassin is woefully misguided. For Americans (other than the members of the affected families) the question should revolve around the issue of combating terrorism. The Denver Post, reported (January, 2009) that White House sources argue that the Denver Supermax prison is “tailor made” for Gitmo detainees: the tailoring is more likely to be a kilt.

 

And no one seems to make the glaring connections of the dots, leading from Lockerbie to Guantanamo. Supporters of releasing the Gitmo detainees argue there is not a whit of difference between terrorists from Iraq and Afghanistan and domestic detainees in, say, your local Wal-Mart of prisons, Super Max.
