— Gabriel Malor There is so much hate in my heart right now.
Professor Karol Sikora, who assessed Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet al-Megrahi for the Libyan authorities almost a year ago, told The Sunday Times it was "embarrassing" the bomber had outlived his three-month prognosis.Megrahi, 58, is the only person convicted of the 1988 bombing of a US Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, which left 270 dead.
Professor Sikora, the dean of medicine at Buckingham University and medical director of CancerPartnersUK in London, was paid for his medical assessment of Megrahi at Greenock prison on July last year.
He told the newspaper: “There was always a chance he could live for 10 years, 20 years ... But it's very unusual.
"It was clear that three months was what they were aiming for. Three months was the critical point.
"On the balance of probabilities, I felt I could sort of justify [that]."
Embarrassed. Oh, he's embarrassed. Well, then. On the balance of probabilities, I could sort of justify beating the good doctor into a pulp. But I wouldn't do that, of course. It would be very unusual, anyway.

Shame on the Scots. And shame on the Western world for not sending al-Megrahi to meet Allah personally the second he stepped off the plane in Libya.

Didn't some Scottish or UK oil company get some rights to drill off Libya's coast after the Lockerbie Bomber was released?

It is for rare occasions like this that confident countries have a mature attitude towards their espionage agencies. It's time to go Mossad on the Bomber's ass. He needs to die in a "mysterious" explosion, preferably while airborn himself if he still travels.
Sadly, we are no longer either confident or mature as a country.

Probably in August.
I'll have to let you know, at the outset, that I'm probably going to have to charge you at least $160 per day, in country, for travel time.
I am assuming of course that plane-fare and armed guards, new identities, a safe house and adequate weapons will be provided!
Sorry to be such a dick about it, but it just seems fair that if you will pay me $80 bucks to go and change 2 stickers for a bank in Dogulas, AZ that your client would be more than happy to pay me twice that to kill a murderous douche-bag as well.
I'm probably going to focus more on the killing of the douchebag, but please let me know which before and after photos the client needs to see and in what order.
Please bear in mind the practicalities of this project and communicate same to your client.

But King has been a ratings dud for some time. Anderson Cooper does better. (FNC kills them all.) Behar at HLN competes against King anyway, so this is a money-saver. But here's the kicker: She is basically neck-and-neck with Larry now, in the demos.
I see this as vindication. Instead of hiring some big celebrity, they're saving money and hiring from within the company. No bloated contract, just give her a better office and a small raise. You save the money by hiring a nobody to fill in her slot.
Ugh. Got a mental image there.
Posted by: AmishDude at July 05, 2010 10:00 AM (T0NGe)
It would be a real shame if al-Megrahi accidentally had a Hellfire missile shoved up his ass.

Before I begin let it be known that I was diagnosed and "treated" (snip) with prostate cancer and I also watched certain forebears die of this family curse, so I'm sort of an consulting expert for this story.
Of course, I knew this was bullshit when I saw Adbul's Bastard walk up the steps of that plane. Nobody three months away from dying of prostate cancer can do this. We're not talking about a phucking heart attack. We're talking about a slow moving, relentless disease that takes two years to kill you once it's broken the last line of defense (ie, removing the testes) When you're three months away from death from PC you're in bad shape -- you look like a survivor of a Japanese POW camp. There is also no chance of reprieve three months from death. This "he had a 50% of dying in three months or a 50% chance of living ten years" is laughable.
I smelled a rat from the beginning. Stories about this never gave any details about when Abdul's bastard was diagnosed this disease or what treatments he received; only that one day --oops -- the poor abdul basterd was found to be at death's doorstep because of cancer. Like phucking hell!! Even the British National Health Service would have picked up on the problem because the murdering POS would have complained of severe urinary problems years before dying

I was about to say something along those lines. The doctor's statement is about as absurd as saying of someone who was just turned into a greasespot by a bus going 150 miles an hour
"He has about a 50% chance of dying in the next three seconds or he could live ten or twenty more years .... There's always the chance he'll live to 100, but it's highly unusual in cases of hypertrauma like this"

If the Lockerbie bomber had a 50% chance of dying in the next three seconds, then he would have no chance, at all, of living past the next 30 seconds. This is a simple Bernoulli trial ... but I guess muslim doctors don't know anything about probability.
The "doctor" and every despicable government official who signed off on this ridiculous release should have to serve, sevenfold, the time that the bomber lived past 3 months. And their families should be shunned and made to feel like the pieces of shit they are.

72 Sometimes, you just have to be a vicious asshole. Honestly, I don't care how the son of a whore hound dies -- it would be great if we could "roach motel" him...because, yeah, I can be that much of a mean, rotten, nasty person to want collateral damage, just because.
And Deety, why are you bolding things? Maybe it's from being tired after working my butt off yesterday; maybe it's a leftover bit of beer haze from last night -- but you're losing me (granted, not a hard thing to do under the best of circumstances).

Okay.
Does that mean I get to go to Scotland?
'Cause that would be awesome!
I can't really do anything about the government officials, as far as putting them in jail and all, but would it suffice to do my best to hang every-family member of those officials by their ankles, on a lane and let the locals do what they will?

Sounds like an objectively-arrived at, non-biased opinion to me. Apparently Professor Sikora received his medical training at East Anglia U.
If he deservedly gets blackballed in medicine, perhaps he'd like to work for the IPCC and discuss the life-expectancy of ice caps and polar bears ?
