Lockerbie bomber taken to intensive care
2009-09-02
The only man convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing was taken to intensive care Wednesday after his illness from terminal prostate cancer worsened, family members said.

According to Libyan officials, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi's health has swiftly deteriorated since he was released from a Scottish prison less than two weeks ago and returned home to Libya to die.
Welcome to state of the art Libyan health care. Try the pureed koran soup.

Our poll reveals 51 percent of people think Mr Brown should have actively opposed the Scottish decision to release the Lockerbie bomber.

More than one third believe his release will do nothing to boost trade relations with Libya.

And a huge 57 percent say it would still NOT be worth letting him out of jail early even if it cemented trade deals.

#5  When I think of Lockerbie, I always think of that innocent young Syracuse Univ coed sitting upside down in her airline seat way up in a tree. All of Libya and anyone else involved should have been put to the sword. We're paying the price today.

And it looks like God is not going to have nice things to say.
