If the “experts” have empathy for a mass murderer, they declare him “terminal” so he can be released from prison. But if the “experts” have no empathy for you, they will declare you “terminal” and stop your medical treatment. Recall President Obama’s opinion of cardiac pacemakers for the elderly: “If we’ve got experts that are advising doctors that the pacemaker will save money...” “Experts” do as they please unless we ordinary people take charge, as our Founders intended us to do.
As a result of this cascade of errors, the murderer of 270 human beings is living out his life in his homeland, surrounded by admirers. Doesn’t that make you proud to be a member of the human race?
It is unfortunate that Megrahi is a mass murderer instead of an innocent patient. Then, with an estimated survival of three months, his water and food might have been cut off, and he would have died in a week or two. After all, that is “peaceful, even pleasant,” the way it was for Terri Schiavo. At least that’s what the “experts” told us.

And I hate to defend a terrorist, but there are some questions if he was behind the bombing. That is why Libya welcomed him home: Not because he was a terrorist but because people saw him as a victim of western Islamophobia.
Nonsense, yes, but there is a difference.
