The Lockerbie Bomber is Dead

The truth still eludes us, you would think that there would be at least some answers after the dictatorship fell.

Should he have been released on compassionate grounds?

Yes. How we treat the worst of us is how we should judge ourselves as a society.

The timing of it appeared to have been wrong, 3 months to live my arse. However the principle of releasing someone to die with their family is a sound compassionate one.

Indeed. Quite likely that it was an innocent man that went to prison for it. Can only hope that they do finally release the details of why his appeal was going to be granted.

I too suspect he wasn't guilty of what he was found guilty of. An innocent man I'm not so sure about.

The files will have to be released eventually, so perhaps some day it'll all make sense - and maybe someone will make a good film out of it.

IMO, he should have had his family come to him. Why should we treat the people who have committed such atrocities like us? I'm not saying they shouldn't be treated humanely, but I don't think they should necessarily be shown compassion either.

They chose to murder hundreds of innocent civilians in a pathetic and childish attempt to "prove a point." Not only that, but terrorists sow the seeds of prejudice and discrimination against people who supposedly follow the same faith as them.

Whether he is guilty or not is another question though.
