The Lockerbie bomber could survive for 10 years or longer, according to a cancer specialist who last year said he would be dead within three months of his release.
Professor Karol Sikora, who assessed Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi for the Libyan authorities almost a year ago, told The Sunday Times it was "embarrassing" the bomber had outlived his three-month prognosis.
Megrahi, 58, is the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of a US Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, which left 270 dead.
The Scottish government provoked outrage from the United States when it released him from prison in August 2009 on compassionate grounds because he dying of metastatic prostate cancer.
In Scotland, prisoners are eligible for release on compassionate grounds if they have fewer than three months to live.

Maybe the doctor realized Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi needed a lot more time to pay his bill .

I'm not sure that would stop Pres. Obama. It appears to be a compulsion, especially when meeting America's enemies.

“He’s been dying of the same heart attack for the last 20 years.” Kind of reminds me of my granny who, according to her, was going to her death bed at any time since she was in her 50's and I was just old enough to walk.
She finally ended up passing on a couple of years ago at 102.
Once this guy's "another 10 years" is up there'll probably be another 10 years after that too.

It would stop Obama if Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Lockerbie won’t meet him for the purpose.

I trust that the Scottish National Party poltroons and their British Labour colleagues got their well deserved 30 pieces of silver out of this deal. Very seldom has such a self-serving deal stunk so bad!

The Scots are saps.
Actually the Scottish people were outraged by the decision to free this creep.
The village of Locherbie lost 11 of its citizens that night.

Labour would still be in power, had it not been for his release.

How do you figure that?
Labour did very well in Scotland last election.

...their well deserved 30 pieces of silver... This was discussed here a while back and by the Brits. The allegation was blood for oil, involving BP.
To: Churchillspirit
Outraged or not, didn’t the Scots release him?
To: Nachum
Well, we're all gonna die sometime, so I guess we all share the same diagnosis, don't we.
How conveeenient.
