I agree that this man should never have been released - being terminally ill doesn't excuse it.
It makes that Scottish minister weak-minded and he should be removed from office. I wouldn't be surprised if there are repurcussions because of this - some very loud pleas to keep him in gaol came from the USA, even Obama himself.
Whether his conviction is unsafe or not, he has gone through the due process of law and found guilty.
I don't know if oil played a part - it wouldn't affect Scotland, but maybe Brown did have a word in his ear and we may hear of future contracts being signed with Libya.
Anger has been compounded by claims that the release was brokered by Tony Blair during a meeting with Gaddafi two years ago - just hours before BP unveiled a £500million oil contract.
The former Prime Minister has been accused of a 'blood money' deal to protect Britain's oil interests.
Crime and punishment, not weakness, should be the order of the day.
