How about some dark rum instead of whiskey?

Crticism and anger over the decision to release convicted Libyan terrorist Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi has prompted a call for Americans to boycott Scottish products including whiskey and to avoid travel to Scotland. Scotland's economy receives billions of dollars from tourism and whisky; if successful, this boycott could prove devastating in this current global recession.

A website promoting the boycott, boycottscotland.com states "The actions of the Scottish government are inexcusable. A man who is responsible for the mass murder of 270 innocent civilians must be held accountable for such a cold blooded and ruthless act. Unless the Scottish government rescinds this decision to release al Megrahi, and if the British parliament continues to avoid intervening in the matter, we urge all Americans to protest this action by boycotting the United Kingdom and Scotland in full."

Al Megrahi is the only person convicted in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland which killed 270 people. He has been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer; Scotland released him for humanitarian reasons to live out his final six months of his life in his homeland. Al Megrahi received a hero's welcome upon his arrival in Libya.
