Mr Macaskill,
I write this as a subject of this country that was once held in high esteem worldwide. I am afraid that your recent actions have indeed made a mockery of any reason why we should have our own government. In the climate of terror that we currently have to live in, I am astounded and indeed embarrassed at the total lack of respect you have shown the victims and their families on both sides of the Atlantic.
The main thing that I can't get my head around is HOW you managed to come to such a bad decision, because make no mistake about it, you made a terrible call on this. Our troops are being killed on an almost daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Western World is under constant threat, so you decide to show compassion and release a terrorist. It is not compassion, it is weakness and I am disgusted.
Yours,
Angry Scotsman.
I totally agree with your post. I was shocked at the rational that was used to release the prisoner. And even more dismayed at the hero's welcome that he received upon arriving back in his home country. Well said.
