Al-Megrahi...

It was said that the ostensible reason for releasing al-Megrahi was compassion for a man terminally ill. It is ironic that this was said in Scotland, for exactly 250 years ago another Scotsman — Adam Smith — said, “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.” But the question remains... Was Al-Megrahi really guilty of this violent act or was it state sponsored? Your guess is as good as mine...
