Badly Done

I don't like to get political, but news that Downing Street approved the release of the monster partly responsible for blowing up the plane over Lockerbie has me pretty cross.

I'm not going to get cute with this post. I just want to say that although I wasn't directly affected, one thing stays with me about this act of terrorism: So many of the victims were returning from their overseas studies in London. I can't say how many people I know who went through that program. Of course, every tragedy like this has its victims and none are more special than any other.

But those students returning from the semester abroad, that's what gets me.
