"Because on December 21, 1988, 270 innocent people were sent to their deaths at the hands of a Libyan terrorist, a mass murderer named Abdelbasset al-Megrahi."

"this committee and the families of the victims want to understand how and why the decision to release was made."

"to shed some light on the troubling circumstances surrounding the early release of Abdelbasset al-Megrahi, the convicted Pan Am 103 Lockerbie bomber."

"What irony it is that this man who took these lives and, without a thought about it, planned carefully, the court decided that this was his idea and his management that brought that airplane down."
