Lockerbie Bomber Dies

Bye, youSOB. Burn in hell.

Only if he’s guilty. And that is far from certain.

Yes, I know. But something convinced the courts in Scotland, and you know what? Even if he was the last surviving terrorist, he bears a responsibility, and (IMO) we’ve relaxed our (the US’s) vigilance way too far. They’re talking explosive devices implanted in pets, for crying it loud. As an animal welfare advocate, this pisses me off the same way ANY loss of life does.

Please let’s not get into an argument, okay? Let’s let this be my last comment before I go into a rage which will surely get me in hot water with the mods (according to a post-it on my monitor).

Agree to disagree, okay?:slight_smile:

Thanks

Too late to edit, sorry. I SHOULD have written: any “innocent loss of life”

Sorry!

Q

The Celebrity Death Pool thread erupted over this news. He is one of the long-running selections there.

Yep, the SOB was in a tie for twelfth most popular pick. There are only nine picks left who had more selections than that bastard did. Twenty four players had him.

Well, if “they” are talking about it, then it must be a threat, right? No-one would ever exaggerate when it comes to these things, of course.

Sorry. I know you guys like cites. It was a news story and those are all the specifics I remember. I think it was Homeland Security that picked this up from a spy.

I hope the new government of Libya will open the files and tell the whole story of this horrible incident of mass murder.
Was Megrahi guilty? Nobody knows for sure-the archives (unless the records were destroyed) would be the only way to know, for sure.

I’m not doubting your honesty Quasi. I’m sure you did see such a story. I am, however, rather skeptical about how likely such an incident would be, and how much of a threat this sort of thing actually poses.

Basically, i disagree with your assertion that America has relaxed its vigilance too much. I’ve seen no evidence that it has.

‘Al-Qaeda tried to use explosives-filled dogs to down U.S. cargo plane’. In 2008. I detonating your dog, indeed.

Well, compare Frankfurt, Germany’s airport to our own, and you’ll see a huge difference. I don’t want to get into the pat-down/body scanner thing, but having landed at Frankfurt many times, I’ve seen pairs of soldiers patrolling the hallways with their Uzis very regularly since Sept. 9, 2011. I understand also that Frankfurt is a hub which will see more of the dangers we will, but we sure have had some close calls.

Thanks

Q

I wasn’t one of them. :frowning:

I was! But I didn’t have Robin Gibb. And once Gibb died there are only eight people left who had more that the terrorist. The numbers after the names are how many players have selected them.

Lindsay Lohan 51
Zsa Zsa Gabor 39
Fidel Castro 38
Dick Cheney 31
Michael Douglas 31
Penny Marshall 29
Billy Graham-e 27
Hugo Chavez 25
