Romney: “What I’d like to do is have the Lockerbie bomber extradited from Libya. This is a person responsible for killing Americans. The idea that he would be welcomed home as a hero in Libya is simply distasteful and disgusting and outrageous and I’d like him to be extradited and face justice at the hands of the United States.
“Guantanamo always serves a useful purpose in settings like this. The process we follow, we’ll follow our laws with regards to this individual. But the right thing is that he should be extradited as an indication to the people of the world that you can’t kill American or other good people in the world without suffering consequence. And him being freed and walking around a free person, thumbing his nose at the world for having taken down an aircraft and killing almost 200 people is unacceptable and I’d get him extradited if we could possibly make that happen.”
No word yet on whether Kathryn Bigalow is planning a feature film of Romney’s answer — though rumor has it Sarah Palin will soon release a facebook post in which she advocates skipping Guantanamo altogether and simply chasing down and shooting Abdel Baset al-Megrahi with a Winchester from a low-flying helicopter.
Winchester? No, no, no, Weatherby Vanguard in .378 Weatherby Magnum with a 3-9X variable wide-lens Leupold scope… for the splash.
How hard is to to accidentally drop a freakin’ bomb on someone if you’re bombing the country anyway?
I think I read that Lockerbie bomber guy’s brother said he’s on his death bed. Going to die any day now.
Shooting him may be an undue favor.
Yeah, bad news about that, Mittster. Not gonna happen.
“Extradited”?
From a freakin’ WAR ZONE?
What’s Mitt smoking?
Mittens is so yesterday in his thinking. I hope he loses by a large margin and finally realizes that we don’t want him. Perhaps the Democrats would take him, he’s more their speed.
So an SF team couldn’t stop by and smother the guy with his own pillow? I’m writing the commander of USSOCOM right now!
Way to posture tough, Mittens.
Grrrromney!
Not just any old Winchester, mister. Should be done with a gold-plated Winchester Centennial issued in 1966, cal. .30-30; the shot taken by an American citizen who’s roots trace back to the Mayflower.
Since that’s not gonna happen, somebody with a pump Crosman .17 pellet gun do us a favor; finish off this worthless turd.

Extradite? Why don’t we just skip that middle man, put a tracer on the next CNN crew to visit him, and deploy a JDAM? Win-win I say.
Word is Mitt is planning a major statement next week declaring that the Surge in Iraq worked.
