News item: Today British authorities released convicted Lockerbie-PanAm Bomber, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, from prison in order to travel back to Libya. Al-Megrahi is suffering from cancer, and not expected to live long, and British authorities said this was a humanitarian act.
I can think of few punishments on this earth that is worse than sitting in a British prison, being daily lectured by priggish English bureaucrats about the sins of my youth.
But doing this to the family members of the Lockerbie victims is one.
But one does wonder. If al-Megrahi were an American, and the Brits had sent him home to the US to die, and Obamacare were in effect....
....would he get any?
