[Whitfield:] Among the people cheering the end of the Moammar Gadhafi era, those who lost loved ones on Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that was the terrorist bombing many believe was sanctioned by Gadhafi. The brother of a Lockerbie victim tells CNN his reaction to the news surprised even himself.
[Brian Flynn, Brother Killed On Pan Am 103:] I was thrilled. I didn't expect to have that reaction. I had been dreaming about this for more than 20 years. But it was always with the sense that you don't want to be the vengeful one that think, I want my brother's murder killed. But in a way, you do.
[Whitfield:] Two hundred seventy people died when Pan Am flight 103 was blown out of the sky over Scotland in 1988. The bombing was pinned on Libyan intelligence officials. Alright, let's turn to the Republicans running for president. Many had been sharp critics of President Obama's actions in Libya. With the recent death of Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, the candidates are now responding. CNN's Joe Johns takes a survey of their positions.
[Joe Johns, Cnn Correspondent:] Pattern perhaps, Republicans running for the White House praising the elimination of yet another bad guy in yet another country. But so far, this time at least, they were kind of quiet about whether the guy they want to run out of office should get any of the credit.
[Mitt Romney , Presidential Candidate:] The world is a better place with Gadhafi gone.
[Johns:] Rick Perry, when asked about Gadhafi, talked about what's next, the need to move to elections and democracy in Libya and securing Gadhafi's weapons. Jon huntsman called it positive news but just one step though he was once sharply critical of the administration's decision to get involved.
[Jon Huntsman , Presidential Candidate:] There's no financial security strategy in place. No defined exit strategy. I say, what are we doing?
[Johns:] As for Michele Bachmann, seems incredible for a member of the house intelligence committee. But she suggested in the CNN debate this week that she didn't know where Libya is. Though she took issue with all the money the U.S. has spent there.
[Michele Bachmann , Presidential Candidate:] Defense spending is on the table. But, again, Anderson, now with the president he put us in Libya. He is now putting us in Africa. We already were stretched too thin and he put our special operations forces in Africa.
[Johns:] Libya is in Africa by the way, North Africa. But when Bachmann was speaking gears she was apparently talking about the administration's recent decision to send 100 troops to Uganda in West Africa to deal with a notorious gang of thugs called the lord resistance army. But putting geography issues aside, Bachmann was also sharply critical of the administration's position on Libya from the very start.
[Bachmann:] Our policy in Libya is substantially flawed. I believe that it was wrong for the president to go into Libya.
[Johns:] Sentiments echoed by presidential candidate Ron Paul who even asked how many dictators the president is planning on helping to take out?
[Rep. Ron Paul , Presidential Candidate:] There are a lot of bad people in the world. Does he want to do that in every dictatorship around the country?
[Johns:] Herman Cain tweeted after the death of Gadhafi that the question now is, what's next? Rumor House speaker Newt Gingrich has both supported and opposed the administration's Libya policy on occasion. Joe Johns, CNN, Washington.
[Whitfield:] And join us every Sunday afternoon, 4:00 Eastern time, when we dedicate a special hour to the presidential contenders in the 2012 election. And a bit later this hour, movie reviews including a scary one on the big screen "Paranormal Activity 3." And of course it is October, Halloween right around the corner. So, do you know what the top haunted hotel in the U.S. is? Could it be the Queen Mary, Stanley Hotel, Hawthorne Hotel, or the Bourbon Orleans? The answer, after this break.
