PanAm 103 Families Called "Very Greedy"

Can you believe it?
THE son of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has accused relatives of the Lockerbie victims of being "very greedy" for seeking compensation.

Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi said the Lockerbie families had traded with "the blood of their sons and daughters" during negotiations over payouts for the deaths of loved ones.
I'm fairly confident that it's not greed that motivates the families of the 270 victims of PanAm 103. It's punitive remuneration. They want somebody to hurt as much as they do. The families are prevented from inflicting torturous bodily pain so their only option is pain in the pocketbook. They want Libya to shell out until it consistently hurts.

By the way, Gaddafi's son is likely going to follow in his father's footsteps when Muammar can no longer rule. How nice.
