Lockerbie bomber

The following is from an AP story

“EDINBURGH, Scotland — Britain's government says it has warned Libya that any celebration of Friday's anniversary of the release from jail of the Lockerbie bomber would be deeply offensive to the families of the mainly U.S. victims of the attack.”

The statement above is an official statement issued by Britain's Foreign Office. If the US made a statement would it be - they have every right to have a party. Should we be embarrassed that the UK has to stand up for us on this?

    I think that it is the UK (or Scotland) that should be embarassed about the whole thing. I remain amazed that they released him.
