Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Perhaps there are still some rogue operators out there who would like to get Israeli on his a$$.

JUSTICE secretary Kenny MacAskill was last night under pressure to reveal more details of the medical evidence that led to the release of the Lockerbie bomber, after it emerged that only one doctor was willing to say Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi had less than three months to live. Labour and Conservative politicians have demanded the Scottish Government publish details of the doctor's expertise and qualifications, amid suggestions he or she may not have been a prostate cancer expert.
The parties have also raised questions over whether the doctor was employed by the Libyan government or Megrahi's legal team, which could have influenced the judgment.
The evidence provided by the doctor is crucial as compassionate release under Scots law requires that a prisoner has less than three months to live.
Doubts about Megrahi's life expectancy have already been raised by American relatives of the 270 victims of the bomb that blew up Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie on 21 December, 1988. But last night the Scottish Government said it would not publish details of the individual who gave the crucial advice.
Mr MacAskill has said he based his decision to release Megrahi on the opinions of a range of experts.
But this is contradicted by a decisive report sent to Mr MacAskill on 10 August.

Prostate cancer can take 20 years to kill someone if the slow growing kind. Many men eventually die of something else.
vaudine
Follow the trail of oil from Libya to Not-So-Great Britain.
Still Great.
Should have sent him home 3 months AFTER he died.
Think “Weekend At Bernie’s”.....
little late.....ain’t it.......
Not even close.
We shall agree to disagree. :)
I think it is getting very obvious that this loser macaskill (whatever) was big time bribed by the libyans..

That’s a good one.
I think it has more to do with internal issues.
As I suspected.
Least the Scots could have done is OPERATED and removed the offending member ~
Why yes, of course he did.
All men get prostate cancer,
but only some men grovel to evil.
I heard a report that due to this Libyan bomber being released, British oil firms will now be allowed into Libya and that there is plenty for them to do. That they have been kept out for years and the Italians allowed in. This releasing of a mass murderer may be a business decision
This wasn’t a British Government decision so it may be a by-product but it is not the cause.
Scotland/England they are one nation to Moamar Qadaffi. Don’t you think? And that the Prime Minister can pressure or entice Scotland to release this prisoner
It doesn’t matter what Gadaffi thinks my friend, this had nothing to do with the UK Government. Labour and the SNP are mortal enemies and this was solely a Scottish executive matter.
What kind of nutjob releases a terrorist bomber who has only months to live anyway?? What better candidate to become a suicide bomber and avoid a lingering, painful death?
I do not understand how anyone could release the man if he could still walk or move in any fashion of his own accord.
