Abdelbaset Al Megrahi

[Sylar]

Is he deid yet? :confused:

Wonder how vindicated Kenny McAskill feels now after guaranteeing he wouldn't live any longer than 3 months, hence his "compassionate grounds".

Farcical.

I'll happily fly to Libya and shoot him myself. And I'll get a good night's sleep after it as well.

Starting to look like the man wasn't as ill as they said he was though. I don't think I'll be visiting that doctor if I'm ill.

Thought he is deid? :confused:

[steakbake]

Still alive, but receiving very aggressive chemo. Think it's a matter of time. Probably had a bit of a boost from going home.

That aside, I dont think he did it so whatever MacAskill or anyone else thinks is pretty immaterial from my point of view.

Completely agree.

I don't think the guy done it...he should be allowed to die in peace

Based on what exactly?

I will answer for you.

Half-witted press commentary.
:rolleyes:

(I could be wrong and maybe you HAVE read and understood the evidence and carried out a correct legal analysis of the judgement ,subsequent appeal,reference to the CCRB and the rest....then again I admit I would be surprised if you had.)

Nonsense, there has been plenty indepth analysis of the original verdict and especially the evidence used to convict. ALL of it comes to the same conculsion that the evidence is EXTREMELY weak and the conviction highly suspect.

You will note of course that he was released BEFORE a full appeal could be heard....I wonder why?

I have spoken with a family friend who was head screw in the prison and built up a trust with Megrahi, based on conversations between the two of them I am 100% sure that Megrahi is guilty of a crime HE committed!

I do not doubt this for a minute but I have a mate who has worked at Greenock HMP for years and his opinion was always that Megrahi was not guilty of the offence and was in a deal with the Libyan government in return for a good deal for his family.

I have always respected Jim Swire's view that Megrahi was just a patsy (http://www.answers.com/topic/patsy) for the real perpetrators.

Spot on Micky.

As for all those sad individuals on Megrahi 'deathwatch' the guy IS
terminally ill and WILL die soon. Nobody gave any guarantee that he'd
die within 3 months and I think anybody who's watching the clock tick
on another man's life is a little sick.

Slight tangent here. The lad Siddiq from Alva has just been cleared of something he was sent to prison for.

Does anyone agree that the courts sometimes sentence people based on public opinion, and that it is possible for someone to be banged up for something they didn't do?

It's just that if they can make a mistake over some wee guy from Clackmananshire, what would they be like if they had an "international terrorist" on their hands?

I'd pull the lever myself. :grr:

I'll say this, I would have to set my alarm, because there is every chance I'd sleep in the next day. :agree:

[Golden Bear]

Al Megrahi was found guilty and his appeal turned down - that's good enough for me.

The decision to release him made me feel dirty and ashamed for being a Scot and I'll hesitate to vote SNP in the next election because of MacAskill.

Really?That seems a bit of an over-reaction to me:confused:

I believe did die, however the Libyans found a great taxidermist and a pair of
out work of midgets.

[Woody1985]

FWIW, I think he was involved and deserved to be in jail and shouldn't have been let out.

Yes, he was part of a bigger picture but at least one person was caught and the rest not pursued for reasons we'll never know.

I still mind the day they raided his house, i thought it was a drugs bust or something as there must have been at least 6 cop vans plus some more cars outside his house/shop. then at night coming home from work i have never seen so many dogs getting walked past that end of the village since i moved through here

From what I've read, he's still up on criminal charges though, specifically in relation to his website, which he 'cannot read'. Errm sure.

I always create websites promoting Islamic fundamentalism, I just can't read them. There's lots of others out there as well so it's not as if my website actually makes a difference anyway.

The doctor sounds like he's back tracking now.

Utterly embarrassing.

Go to love this quote:

Professor Sikora told the Mail: 'I am very surprised that he is still alive. He is not receiving any active treatment. The latest information I have from Tripoli is that he is not a well man, and I suspect he will be dead within a month or so.'

Yeah, cos you are great with predictions. :faf:

McAskill was working on the best medical advice available to him. I don't think he, personally, guaranteed anything.

If you'd rather be informed than accuse other folk of being ignorant of facts, let me know and I'll forward Private Eye's excellent, in-depth report on Lockerbie to you.

Must be true if it's in the Daily Mail...

[AgentDaleCooper]

dunno what yiz will make of this (http://www.johnpilger.com/page.asp?partid=547), but i'm pretty sure the guy's innocent and the whole thing is a fix.

[IWasThere2016]

I think he's innocent, and that he won't recover from his disease. He hasn't got long.
