Israel should learn from Scotland

"United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed the decision by Scotland to release the Libyan man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 that killed 270 people. In a statement released by the State Department on Thursday, Clinton, who is on vacation, said she is deeply disappointed by the decision to release al-Megrahi. "We have continued to communicate our long-standing position to UK government officials and Scottish authorities that Megrahi should serve out the entirety of his sentence in Scotland," the statement read.
Also Thursday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the United States had repeatedly asked Scotland to keep Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in custody."

Scotland reacted to the request of the United States to keep al-Megrahi in custody by not paying attention to America and doing whatever it wanted. Israel should learn the lesson, as well. Next time the United States makes a request of Israel, "Just say no."
