Scottish Government: It's Like Totally Tasteless to Ask Questions Like "What Doctor Said That Megrahi Only Had Weeks to Live" and Stuff

The only doctor who made this claim wasn't an oncologist or even a urologist (who might know something about the prostate).

In fact, he might have been directly employed by the Libyans.

The medical report stated that the “less than three months to live” prognosis was: “In the opinion of Megrahi’s (the name or title of the individual was then blanked out] … who has dealt with him prior to, during and following the diagnosis.”

There was also a suggestion that Megrahi might not be as ill as had been claimed. The report said: “Clinicians who have assessed Mr Megrahi have commented on his relative lack of symptoms when considering the severity and stage of underlying disease.”

And suggestions that the doctor who gave the prognosis may have been employed by the Libyan government emerged in the report’s notes. It said that a professor from Libya had been involved in Megrahi’s care and the medical officer who wrote the report had been “working with clinicians from Libya over the past ten months”.

It is beginning to look like the early reports are true -- the UK, once a valuable ally, sprung a terrorist who killed hundreds, more than half Americans, for an oil deal.

"Global test," eh?
