"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth - that is not our culture in Scotland and I would like to think that the US government, and these states that do still have capital punishment, would learn something from us."
Sorry Cardinal , We just don't like murderous Terrorists , we would prefer they receive a Bullet in their Head instead of a free life and a Hero's welcome .
Regardless of who they are , the people that believe that a Mass murderer should live free among people , is on the same level as the mass murderer , and for a Cardinal to love a murderous Douchebag like Megrahi , and not even think about the Victims or the Families he has Tortured , Makes Him A Bigger Douchebag !

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland has attacked the US over the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien said the Scottish government was right to free Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi last year on compassionate grounds.
US lawmakers want Scots politicians to explain their decision to a committee, but the cardinal said ministers should not go "crawling like lapdogs".
He said Scotland had a culture of care, while the US was fixed on vengeance.
However, he is still alive after almost a year and the decision continues to provoke anger in the United States, which was home to 189 of the 270 people killed on board Pan Am flight 103 in 1988.
In an interview with BBC Scotland, Cardinal O'Brien said Americans were too focused on retribution.
"In many states - more than half - they kill the perpetrators of horrible crimes, by lethal injection or even firing squad - I say that is a culture of vengeance," he said.
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth - that is not our culture in Scotland and I would like to think that the US government, and these states that do still have capital punishment, would learn something from us."

Lockerbie Bomber Fiasco: Who woke Chuck Schumer up?
No seriously, where has he been? From the Daily Mail:
Gordon Brown was told last night that he must seek the immediate return of the Lockerbie bomber to Britain.
A senior senator in the United States has written to the Prime Minister to protest that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi's early release on compassionate grounds on August 20 was granted on the assumption he had only three months to live.
Charles Schumer said that period had now elapsed and there was speculation that the severity of the Libyan's condition had been exaggerated.
No shi&, Sherlock. All of a sudden, Chuck is tough on national security. Give me a break.

Muslim-owned shop bans customers wearing veils
"I know in Scotland that banks will not allow their customers coming in with motorbike helmets, I don't see why it should be different for people wearing the Niqab. It is an issue about identifying people,"
A muslim owned jewelry shop has banned customers from wearing any veils after the store was robbed by muslim Asian thieves disguised in islamic veils. If a non-muslim store owner had implemented such a rule I'm sure some muslim group would cry islamophobia. Telegraph
A Muslim-owned jewellery shop has decided to ban customers wearing veils after being targeted by robbers disguised as Islamic women. [...]
The store owners decided to act after two Asian men wearing traditional Muslim women's clothes – including niqab veils – made away with thousands of pounds worth of jewellery earlier this month.[...]
"It is our safety that matters as well at the end of the day," Rukhsana Sadiq told the BBC Asian Network. "God forbid anything like this happening to anyone else."
