TRIPOLI, Libya -- The Libyan rebel government will not deport the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, its justice minister said Sunday. New York senators on Aug. 22 asked the Libyan transitional government to hold Abdel-Baset al-Megrahi fully accountable for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 people.

Good thing we're giving the rebels money, giving them Qaddhafi's money, and giving them arms and assistance.

But the transitional government Justice Minister Mohammed al-Alagi told journalists in Tripoli that the request by American senators had "no meaning" because al-Megrahi had already been tried and convicted.

"We will not hand over any Libyan citizen. It was Gadhafi who handed over Libyan citizens," he said, referring to the government's decision to turn al-Megrahi over to a Scottish court for trial.

New York Senator Charles Schumer had encouraged the new Libyan leadership to hold al-Megrahi accountable.

"A new Libya can send a strong statement to the world by declaring it will no longer be a haven for this convicted terrorist," he said.

You mean Charlie the Mouth didn't persuade the rebels?

#2 Did Chuckie ask if we could use al-Megrahi and his buddy al-Alagi for hell-fire target practice?

#3 No problem. We will find something useful to do with the purported 1.1B in US banks left behind by daffy.

#4 This is a calculated affront against the West that shouldn't go unpunished.

The rebels are unlikely to shed tears over a Gaddafi regime element, and Gaddafi followers who have committed crimes against the rebels have met and will meet harsher 'justice' than Megrahi would.

Still, the West has not punished Karzai for trying negotiate with the Taliban, the objective being a return to power of the same.

That's the consequence of serving the ~~enemy~~ noble peoples of Libya and Afghanistan.

Why then should this Alagi lout fear negative consequences if he harbors and protects those who slaughtered hundreds in the West?

In a sane world NATO's response to this outrage would consist of one word:

"Nuts!"

#6 This is a calculated affront against the West that shouldn't go unpunished.

Or possibly a statement of principle from a Muslim about a fellow believer to the unbelievers generally and specifically. Which doesn't make it acceptable.
