#1 Not unusual for a man with metastatic prostate cancer to live for years. For many men it's a slow-growing tumor.

A false sense of urgency? ;-)

Somebody needs to lose their license.

#3 I hope that they needed to perform a double orchiectomy on him to arrest the spread of the cancer. That's common for prostate cancer, you know.

If they haven't, I'd be willing to do the job.

#4 I don't really understand why he was released in the first place. Perhaps allow friends and relatives to visit knowing he would die but release him?

Perhaps LIbyan medical knowledge is more advanced in cancer research than I was aware. We should not have allowed a leach-gap.

#6 Professor Karol Sikora, who assessed Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi for the Libyan authorities almost a year ago, told The Sunday Times newspaper it was "embarrassing" that he had outlived his three-month prognosis.

The professor did miss the mark by a bit. Speaks to the issue of the state of Libyan medical knowledge. But of course it was never really about medicine.
