Cancer Experts Brand Lockerbie Bomber Release 'Ridiculous' -- The TelegraphTwo 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.

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.
