I heard an English victims relative saying 'he is innocent let him out' and an American relative saying 'keep him in, he'll be treated as a hero', well if he is innocent I hope he is, his sacrifice finally got the sanctions lifted and made conditions in Lybia a lot better for its citizens, that's a big if of course, let's just hope that we know what we are doing and not letting a guilty mass murderer out, not exactly got much confidence in our ptb at the moment though.
