Outrage Over The Release Of The Lockerbie Bomber Continues

Cancer Experts Brand Lockerbie Bomber Release 'Ridiculous' -- The Telegraph

Two of America’s most prominent prostate cancer experts have told senators they are “not at all surprised” the Lockerbie bomber is still alive more than a year after his release.

Dr James Mohler said the prognosis that led to Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, being allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds was “difficult to believe and possibly even ridiculous”.

And Dr. Oliver Sartor told the US Senate’s foreign relations committee the chemotherapy the bomber only started receiving after being released from a Scottish prison could extend his life by at least 19 months.

My Comment: I have been following this story since the Lockerbie bomber's release last year .... and with more information being published and/or leaked everyday ... it is obvious to me that the Scottish and English Ministers involved in the release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi were more concerned about meeting Libya's demand that they release the Lockerbie bomber if they wanted better relations.

When the final decision was made to release the Locerbie Bomber, I suspect that they did not think he would live long, and that media focus on this story would be minimal at best. Well .... they were wrong on all counts.
