[This is the headline over a report recently published on The Scotsman website. It reads in part:]
The clamour for full disclosure of the Lockerbie bomber's medical files grew last night after it emerged that the son of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi has claimed that his condition has "greatly improved".
The health and life expectancy of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi was the subject of renewed speculation after Saif Gaddafi suggested he was doing much better now that he was home in Libya.
Seven months after the man convicted of the worst mass murder in British legal history was released on compassionate grounds by the Scottish justice secretary, Kenny MacAskill, Saif Gaddafi said he was in "good condition".
His remarks follow reports that the Libyan intelligence agent, convicted of murdering 270 people when Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie, has been prescribed chemotherapy treatment Taxotere after returning to Libya.
Mr Gaddafi, who is tipped to take over from his father as Libyan leader, told the Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that Megrahi "was sick and was released for humanitarian reasons, and was soon in better health and in a good condition. His future is now in God's hands."
Mr Gaddafi also claimed the convicted killer's release had dominated trade talks with Britain [RB: Britain, not Scotland. As far as I am aware there have been no trade talks between Libya and the Scottish Government or Scottish business interests]. Mr MacAskill has always insisted that Megrahi was released purely on compassionate grounds. (...)
Richard Baker, Scottish Labour spokesperson for justice, said: "It's time for the SNP to stop the secrecy surrounding the medical reasons for this man's return to Libya. If Megrahi is responding to treatment, then it calls further into question his compassionate release by Kenny MacAskill."
Bill Aitken, the Conservative justice spokesman, said: "The longer this goes and the more tales that come out of Libya, the more Kenny MacAskill must be cringeing. We are now over eight months after the prognosis that Megrahi had three months to live. The medical evidence was not nearly sound enough and MacAskill has embarrassed Scotland big time."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Government said: "Mr Megrahi has terminal prostate cancer and he was sent home to die based on the medical report of the Scottish Prison Service Director of Health and the recommendations of the Parole Board and Prison Governor, all of which has been published by the Scottish Government."
As I noted in the other thread, the most recent information I could find says this drug can extend the life of a prostate cancer sufferer by only 2 or 3 months.
ReplyDeleteSomebody doesn't have their story straight.
Of course Mr Megrahi feels much better in Libya than in a Scottish prison.
ReplyDeleteMy old friend Niccolo Machiavelli comments that he is extremely pleased by the hysteria surrounding Megrahi´s health. That way, he says, the whole case is still boiling.
As I have long been convinced that Mr Megahi is entirely innocent and for lack of a more precise word framed by the CIA, I am delighted he is back in his homeland.
ReplyDeleteWill the US government now compensate that country for the swingeing fine it inflicted on it.
And, Mr Duggan, I know you don't read this stuff, it was your Government that agreed the destruction of Pan Am 103 with the Iranian, and an Iranian placed the first device on Pan Am 103 at Heathrow.
Censoring aged Roman Catholic clerics, who unlike you actually have some experience of Lockerbie impresses no one this side of the pond.
The truth will out, as truths usually do.
This is only a "Babylon" computer translation, german/english:
ReplyDeleteIs the MEBO 'MISSION LOCKERBIE' a chaos theory and will end as a 'Mission Impossible' ? Surely not !!!
What exactly is the chaos in the "Lockerbie-Tragedy" ? Those not opening of documents of the Reappeal Commission, (SCCRC) promised by Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill 2009...
The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data...
One day in March of 2010, MEBO wanted to see a particular sequence in the 'Lockerbie-Divide'.
By all conventional fakts and ideas of the time, we have worked.
*We have get a reproach very close to the original sequence, the possibility of the MST-13 timerfragment PT/35(b) was altered but not swapped ?
A scientist considers himself lucky if he can get proven forensic facts with accuracy to places. Surely to measure using reasonable methods, have a huge effect on the outcome of the experiment and as evidence.
In advance: The crucial evidence (MST-13 Timer fragment) by Dr.Hayes/ Allen Feraday from 12th January 1990, re-booked deliberate to 12th March 1989, registered under ref. PP'8932, PT/35, paragraph > b) a fragment of a green coloured circuit board. This PC-board was a black carbonized circuit board, marked with three scratching places and a letter "M"on it, no "green" color was recognizable on this time!
New Facts: Was Eng. U. Lumpert an official body as a consultant asked to participate, when creating the (MST-13) Timer fragments ?
Eng. Lumpert was without the knowledge of MEBO, at least twice obscured at USA invited.
The reason: Eng. U. Lumpert confirms on the Affidavit of 18th July 2007, (page 3, paragraph No. 5 actually, that he himself the scratching places "Kratzstellen" in the MST-13 Fragment had made !
It is therefore absolute clear that at this moment the PT/35 Fragment already was carbonized with black soot !!!
At the court in Kamp van Zeist were Lumpert's USA visits no topic!
After forensic investigation on 27 April 1990 by company Siemens in Germany, it was clear, the fragment was from a standard print-material (prototype) with 8 lay of fibre glas, "brown" in color, not in "green" and thus not of a Libyan timer!
*Provably free of doubts, the original MST-13 timer fragment under column b) registered as PT/35 was first altered, after that swapped by a duplicate PT/35(b) with a green fragment of a Libya MST-13 timer, without the letter "M" and the three scratching places on it, to bring Libya in connection with the Lockerbie tragedy... more soon....
