FBI Chief Calls Lockerbie Release 'Mockery' of Law

FBI chief Robert Mueller condemned the release of the Lockerbie bomber as “a mockery of the rule of law,” CNN reports. “Your action rewards a terrorist,” Mueller wrote to the Scottish official who released Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds. “Where, I ask, is the justice?” wrote Mueller, who helped prosecute Megrahi in 1991. He returned to a hero’s welcome in Libya, where officials said his release proves he was simply a “political hostage.”
