Re: Lockerbie bomber to be set free ..

The right decision was made. The report will explain some of that. All in that top end were called out to help by the BBC network at the time in Carlise and surrounding areas. I know of stories of true heroism.

But consider.

If this man had died of cancer in prison, he would be a martyr. Giovanni de Stefano is and was his lawyer in Rome. Now that the costs of palliative care are in his own country the right decision was made. He cannot be a martyr that went home in a box. That is why I think that his care in terminal illness is best done in the country of his birth.
