I also do not understand the importance of megrahi to the libyan. His release must have cost billions. If he were a true soldier, he should have been prpared to die for whatever his cause and beliefs are. Instead of crying like a baby about prostate cancer which inflicts about 1 in ten men if not more!
To be honest, “showing” compassion in this way, is just laughable. A total farce.
In my opinion, the families of the lockerbie victims are the true heroes here because their children have been sacrificed to steady the economic downturn of this country thru the nefarious deals struck behind their backs, without their consent. Accidental heroes but heroes non the less.
