1988.......A LONG TIME AGO.....LOCKERBIE


Today's release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi,the only man convicted of the Lockerbie Bombing that brought down a plane that had 270 passengers is a sad day for the family and friends of those souls........
If my memory is correct a few were students returning from a semester in Europe and attended Syracuse University and one of them was from Swampscott,Ma.

We were not attuned to "terrorism " back in those days and it was an shock to the Nation.........

The Compassion of the Scottish Goverment opens the wounds of the people affected and todays' celebration in Tripoli, Lybia (right ) is unfortunate and certainly could have been avoided............

This does not help us in the "war on terrorism ".............Oh!! that's right we do not have that war anymore....We just have troops involved.....
