Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi Dies: Convicted Lockerbie Bomber Jerked Off the West

Really, Muammar Gaddafi was the supreme jerk, and he got what was coming to him.

And Al-Megrahi should have died a broken, incarcerated man, not a man living in freedom thumbing his nose at the West.

See the New York Times, "Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, Convicted in 1988 Lockerbie Bombing, Dies at 60" (via Memeorandum).

And see Michael Rubin a couple of weeks ago at Commentary, "Lockerbie Terrorist Again Near Death?":

When Megrahi eventually does die, the families of Lockerbie victims can go to sleep knowing a man responsible for the deaths of their loved ones is no longer among his own friends and families. That he has lived in relative freedom, however, means he will die not only as a terrorist, but also as the poster boy for Western fecklessness.
