Justice Denied?

" Box we're awaiting now the arrival in Libya of the Lockerbie bomber Abdel was set I'll -- groggy he was released. In Scotland today he is on an airplane right now making his way back home to Libya remember. He was released because of compassion reasons because he has prostate cancer and depending on -- you -- they say has a few weeks to a few months to live. This has outraged. Families all over the world even now President Obama speaking out against Scotland so called compassionate release of a terrorist. But set -- McGraw he convicted in the bombing of pan am flight 103. He was supposed to serve at least 27 years for killing 270. People including a 189. Americans. But hours ago that you see right there boarding the plane heading Libya so they can die at home -- his family gesture that was never. Given to his victims John Bolton is a former ambassador of the UN. And a Fox News contributor and when he gets into Libya ambassador explain this to -- because. Because they view this as a victory as a celebration of sorts. Of course there they claim that he is."

" Innocent of the killing of the 270 people who died on pan am 103 this decision by Scotland this travesty and it. The families of the victims are outrageous you say and they should been. And and -- an Arab you know he was known for years and years as a political hostage. Does it do for relations -- the president has condemned -- for relation between this country and in -- Well you know we have full diplomatic relations with Libya that was a process put in place after they gave up their nuclear weapons program. We're not getting gain anything by this I think even if this person has. Terminal cancer. If you want compassion for his relatives to Scotland don't releasing from prison. It is there any recourse at all I mean you the other victims are outraged you know that you can feel this when you talk to these families out there. That may want to know if there's anything they can do is there was this done. Well I think it -- he was being held in Scotland we had agreed years ago he would be tried according to Scottish justice although we could certainly could have been tried in this country but under double jeopardy we're not gonna get another shot adding he's very. We should note that Moammar Gadhafi for years has lobbied for his release what we have diplomatic relations -- you say that has lobbied for his release for a long time that this was not a decision purely by the government of Scotland you know they have a separate jurisdiction this is conceivable only because Prime Minister Gordon Brown -- In London. Prime minister the UK. Decided that he wanted this to happen so I think President Obama really needs to raise this with Gordon Brown. I want to change subject -- to get your opinion on Afghanistan the election was held today if you look at the clock it's around 111145. And Afghanistan right now. And the question becomes. That the blood the violence today some 26 people killed yet to -- the fortitude of those who went to the polls today. -- were you surprised who struck by how many turned out. We'll have to see what the final turnout is but certainly the Taliban's efforts to intimidate people. Where were desperate attempt to stop democracy no registration is up over a third from the last election a lot of them women. So whatever the final turn out is -- gonna have a more more voting and voted before I think once people got the right to vote felt like to give it up it is there a sense that you know maybe the Taliban this was kind of they said they -- we're gonna cut your fingers up ordered a bomb we've got the weaponry. And then there was some violence but not new violence that was expected as this come to -- the Taliban is not nearly as strong as we believe they are. Well I think inside Afghanistan this is this is today are not as strong as we thought I think our real danger there now is in Pakistan where Taliban. They took over that government would have control of the substantial arsenal of nuclear weapons we have to beat him in both places but it. This election turns out well it'll be huge setback to the terrorists -- the election turns out the public Karzai is the winner. He was the projected leader. That the question becomes. Is he is many of said his in his power outside of Kabul is limited is -- the man to lead Afghanistan in the future. Well that this is what you have elections for and you know he will we'll see if he gets it passed the run off he needs to get above 50%. Thank you had some other strong candidates in the race people Afghanistan had a choice and we'll see what the outcome as ambassador John Bolton. Greatest this thank you sir David. We wanna."
