The White House has called for the man convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing to be returned to prison in Scotland.

President Obama's counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, said the US had expressed "strong conviction" to Scottish officials that Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi be brought back to jail.

Scottish ministers freed Megrahi, who has cancer, citing medical advice that he would likely die in three months.

Analysts say the anniversary of his freeing adds weight to the US call.

1. He can die in prison with cancer just as easily as he can roaming

the streets.

The people who died in the Lockerbie bombing remain dead, he should remain in prison until cancer or natural causes take him.

2. No Laugh Like the Sight Of a Man Trying To Put Toothpaste Back In the Tube, Ma'am....

He had nothing to do with the killings anyway; it was a contract job by the P.F.L.P. for the Iranians, in retaliation for an airliner of theirs shot down over the Persian Gulf by a U.S. Aegis cruiser.

3. Thank you. I'm out of patience with those who howl for revenge based on disinformation.

Brennan can suck on it.
