Well seems like the early rumors are turning out to be true. Our good friends and long time allies, the United Kingdom, approved the early release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber in order to further a huge oil deal with Libya. al-Megrahi may be dying of cancer, and have only months or weeks to live, but he should have spent those last days in his prison cell. Instead he's treated to a heroes welcome in Libya.
Now I'm not saying we should consider the UK as an enemy or part of the "Axis of Evil", but we should let them know in a very strong way that we, as a nation, are not pleased. How about recalling our ambassador to the UK for 6 months and ending any high-level diplomatic contact with them? How many of us have had disagreements with good friends and been given the cold shoulder. Makes you want to put things right if it's a relationship you cherish. Maybe it's time we gave the UK the cold shoulder for a while.

The Obama administration is complicit--they knew about the deal from the beginning.
