Gordon “Toast” Brown and his government, such as it is, released convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al Megrahi on “compassionate” grounds because the bomber had three months to live.
That was in August.
Instead, three months later, Megrahi was just released from the hospital.
The row over the release of the Lockerbie bomber was reignited last night after it emerged he has been released from hospital.
Abdelbaset Al Megrahi was freed from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds in August after a medical assessment concluded he had only three months to live because of his prostate cancer.
But the 57-year-old former Libyan intelligence agent and his family now say that, while weak and terminally ill, he is not close to death, and continues to work on clearing his name.
What a proud chapter in British history.
You mean the medical assessment done by the three doctors that Libya hired to provide that assessment?
Imagine that – a medical miracle.
It’s time we follow the lead of our Brit allies. Let’s dig up Tim McVeigh and set him free.
Then we can be humanitarians too and claim we’re really a compassionate and considerate people. We’ll take the moral high ground, look down our noses at all those rigid uncompromising neanderthals who insist on enforcing the law. (Can you believe such knuckle draggers are still allowed to vote in national elections?)
So lets dust off McVeigh and send him on his merry way. It’s a win-win all around, since Tim is already dead he can’t linger beyond his expiration date to embarrass us, and we get all the love and goodwill of the terrorists who sell us oil.
Maybe we can even apply for the humanitarian discount Saddam usually extended to infidels in the service of international jihad.
Conclusion: Libya’s healthcare system is better than the UK’s. {snark}
Money talks and the terrorist walks. Or maybe the Brit health care system just botched the prognosis? I read where Elton John has had to postpone some concerts due to poor health. I read he has been confined to an ‘exclusive’ London hospital. Yeah. I am sure it is not one that the serfs are required to use.
1. Maggie, it would just about have to be.
2. Follow the money.
