29. there are several Scottish families who lost their loved ones on that

flight who are GLAD he is being shown compassion, and have grave doubts about his guilt.

We here in the US seem to forget that other people exist. I'm humbled by the actions that Scotland has taken, and applaud them for showing mercy to a dying man. He won't be any less dead soon, and his family, who are victims as much as any of the victims family are, can at least say good-bye. Denying them that right, by keeping him in prison when there is no hope of possible recovery, and when he was unlikely to live to see his appeal go to trial would be nothing but spiteful and cruel to his family.

I disagree with Pres. O and many other people i admire and respect on this issue- but we MUST be the change we hope to see in this world.

Scotland did the right thing on this issue i believe.

And my heart goes out to everyone who has suffered, and continue to suffer as a result of this tragic flight.

(you may want to look into some of the evidence used against him- and at his statements about the incident)

peace~
