   The council’s next scheduled call-in to Megrahi is next Tuesday.

   We should take a page out of his play book, and strap a bomb to him. If he leaves his house, he explodes. At least it will take care of his cancer; that is if he really has it.

   Under the terms of his release from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds in August, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi cannot leave Tripoli or change his address and must keep in regular contact with East Renfrewshire Council.
   So a man who slaughters men, women and children with no qualms whatsoever will actually abide by the terms of his release?

If only all Americans would read them & act with courage & conviction to preserve America, as those Scots were willing to do so long ago. Thanks for sharing.

Frequent calls to al-Megrahi’s phone were greeted with the message, “Hi – you’ve reached al. I can’t come to the phone right now, but I’m home cuz I’m seriously ill! Seriously – I’m home!”.

    Anyone else find this phone tag game with a murderous jihadists completely insane?

    No, I find it quite in line in dealing with this sort. So the lad decides to skip-what are the Brits going to do-send a Man-o-War to Tripoli? The Brits sold their soul for oil deals and can dance to Tripoli’s tune. And what will Barack Hussein Obama do? He will congratulate the Colonel for a game well played.

    Eric Holder can send a Letter of Concern and give the Libyans a good laugh. Most of the victims were Typical White People-maybe Little Eichmannns- so it really does not matter.

    They found him at home? Darn, I was hoping he would turn up in the morgue.

    Al-Megrahi, who had served only eight years of his life sentence, was recently given only months to live after being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

    Only months to live? My grandmother was told she only had months to live due to a heart problem. Her doctor even warned her not to go through with her wedding plans. Eleven children and 72 years later the doctor turned out to be right. She only lived another 864 months after his diagnosis, but the doctor was no longer around to take credit for it.

    They shouldn’t have released him in the first place, although technically speaking going from the hospital to home isn’t a “change of address.”

    So if he’s to be believed in his claim that he really is playing Domesticus — his say-so seems good enough for the Scots — there’s no point getting upset at him for breach of contract.

    They’re still there. They can still do things that no other aircraft can do. A favorite memory is looking down at an F-111 running on TFR from my tank cupola in Germany with a condensation shockwave around it.

    HI ELM CREEK SMITH–#30. Long ago I was in an instrumentation van at White Sends Missile Range when an F-111 made full speed low altitude runs on our Hawk site. Our entry door was open so we could watch the runs from our recording equipment racks.
    ***
    On the first pass we could see the dust kicking up behind the plane where the shock wave was hitting the desert. Total silence as it streaked towards us at probably Mach 2. The shock wave rocked our van over to one side–desk drawers flew out, equipment hit the floor, and the water bottle fell out of the cooler. Then the van rocked the other way and we fell down. The shock wave tripped the circuit breakers on our radar since the G.I.’s had left the side door open so they could check for faults.
    ***
    On pass 2 everything was “buttoned up” and the missile system operated properly. The boom was still impressive–with the van door closed.
    ***
    Pass 3 was aborted before the plane got close due to the very high fuel consumption during “on the deck” full speed runs. The aircraft “bingoed”, climbed, slowed down, and flew home.
    ***
    I still remember these tests when we go by the Tucson, Az. Kolb Road “boneyard”–there are a lot of what look like flyable F-111′s mothballed there. A truly impressive aircraft.
