The quality of mercy is not strained

Congratulations to Scotland for showing compassion to Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi. Mercy is without peer, and I see no reason any dying criminal should not be allowed to die at home. Besides, there is a significant body of argument that Al Megrahi is not only the victim of a miscarriage of justice, but also completely unconnected to the Lockerbie tragedy. Suspicions remain about CIA and FBI involvement.
