We wouldn't have to worry about Libya's oil if we used our own resources. If letting some nut job with untreatable prostate cancer leave a Scottish prison to go home to hang out with more nut jobs kept the economy afloat, then forget grief. Feelings are cheaper than bailouts. I think the oil argument you allude to is BS. We wouldn’t have to worry about Libya’s oil if we used our own resources.

Justice isn't about revenge, and we shouldn't condition it on how people react outside, whether for or against. I am curious as to whether he ever showed any remorse, whether he had done something to merit release, or whether international politics played a larger role than Justice. I, for one, won't jump to conclusions on this one though. I’m a little torn along with you.
