#3 I think this was done with the purest of Scottish motives: he has expensive, terminal cancer, and they don't want to pay for it. EU Human Rights lawyers were probably getting all ready to force them to cough up hundreds of thousands of pounds, to fruitlessly try to save the sack o' crap.

Back home in Libya, he can look forward to advanced medical care like drinking camel dung tea and using the Koran as a pillow, while he gets to experience the pure, unadulterated joy of cancer without pain medicine.

#4 No, Moose, he will get first class treatment by Khadaffy's personal physicians. He's a hero, remember?

#6 Note how he went into the freedom plane in white hospital garb and emerged in Libya dressed in a suit like he was a banker or Keith Obermann or something.

#7 The Scots have always had more in common with the French than with the English, though even the English are totally wussified these days.

#8 Perhaps Arlen Specter, the Scottish Law Expert, would grace us with an explanation.....

#9 Modern Scot stubborness dates to their post-Reformation love of Roman Catholicism. The "saxons" went one way, the "celts" had to go the other way. Brits call that mentality, "cheek."

#10 Ha ha funny. The 'laughing stock of the world' title belongs solely to the US, for recognition of its hard work in intelligence gathering in Gitmo. No credibility whatsoever, at least among rule abiding people. Funny.

#11 I guess the Scots like $hitting in their collective britches and befouling themselves.

#14 49Pan, the proper term is "maroon", but that's ok. Al-Megrahi will suffer, regardless of who provides his medical attention. Had an uncle that was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the early 1970's. It took eight years before it killed him, after spreading to pretty much his entire body. He was on morphine the last three years, and still in agony. Perhaps Al-Megrahi should have been sent to the Taliban - they have an abundant supply of heroin.

No amount of compassion can alleviate the pain of the loss of 270 people. All the people involved in that tragedy should be forced to experience the pain and agony of terminal cancer - with nothing more than chamomile tea and glucosamine for treatment.

#15 OP, did the prophet(bees pee upon him) have camomile tea and glucosamine? If not, then they are un-Islamic, and al-Meghari should die without them.

#16 Thanks OP, I was trying to not call snakes 5238 an ass. What a stupid comment. I hope Al Megrahi suffers in his last days, there should be no compassion for him. As for snakes, he's probably some 16 year old that still sleeps with his mommy.
