Wasn’t this sumbitch supposed to be dead by now?
Lockerbie bomber Megrahi living in luxury villa six months after being at ‘death’s door’
The man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing is living with his family in a luxury villa in Libya six months after he was released from jail on compassionate grounds because he had less than three months to live.
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, who is suffering from terminal prostate cancer, no longer receives hospital treatment after ending the course of chemotherapy that he had been given after returning to his homeland last August.
Professor Karol Sikora, the London-based doctor who examined Megrahi and predicted he would be dead by last October, admitted this weekend that the fact the bomber is still alive might be “difficult” for the families of the 270 victims of the attack.
Gah.
Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Secretary, ruled last August that Megrahi should be freed. Megrahi’s release came after Libyan leaders warned that lucrative oil and trade deals with Britain would be cancelled if the bomber died in jail.
Y’know, I can see the harsh political calculus that was at work here, and I can understand it. Let one scumbag go in order to save billions of pounds and all kinds of political headaches. I see the same logic at work when terrorists are exchanged for kidnapped civilians. But for the love of all that’s harsh and devious… couldn’t they take a lesson from the Russians and implant these bastards with some sort of slow-dissolving capsule that will break down in two months and give them leprosy or terminal ass-cancer or something? Hell, chemical castration, some horrible gender-bending hormone treatment… something. I’d personally kick in a few bucks for a secret program to develop a long-delay system that would suddenly dump a gram or two of mettalic sodium or phosphorus into the scumbags bloodstream, preferably in the gut or near the heart.
Come *on,* people. It can’t be that friggen’ hard.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I like the idea of an implant — it appeals to the gadget-geek an in me. Save some money, however, by granting compassionate parole to the other prisoner who was traumatized by being in the next room when the bad guy had his faced rammed down the toilet.
One of the victims of Pan Am 103 was the daughter of David
Cohen,the man that wrote “The Great Airship Mystery of 1897″.I obtained the book,”The Secrets of Dellschau” by
Dennis Crenshaw and feel that this might be a good continuation of the story of the great airship mystery.
Having some sort of personal feeling about them gives us another reason to kill ’em off. That way, they can’t complain what we do is motivated by dislike of their religion, or of their ancestry.
