There better be a death in three months: careers of Brown and MacAskill, if not Megrahi.

Revealed: Libya paid for medical advice that helped Lockerbie bomber's release The British, Scottish and Libyan governments connived to free Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds The Sunday Telegraph can disclose. By Andrew Alderson, Chief Reporter, Robert Mendick and Damien McElroy in Tripoli
Medical evidence that helped Megrahi, 57, to be released was paid for by the Libyan government, which encouraged three doctors to say he had only three months to live.
The life expectancy of Megrahi was crucial...Two of the three doctors commissioned by the Libyans provided the required three-month estimates, while the third also indicated that the prisoner had a short time to live. This contrasted with findings of doctors in June and July who had concluded that Megrahi had up to 10 months to live, which would have prevented his release....“The figure of three months was suggested as being helpful [by the Libyans]...This weekend it was reported that Megrahi was moved out of an emergency care unit in Tripoli.****The photo-op showing him with oxygen in hospital having served its purpose...****...“Mr Kousa stated that Mr al-Megrahi’s death in Scotland would not be viewed well by the Muslims or Arabs. Nor would it be good for relations.”...warnings by Libya in May that...trade deals between the two countries – worth billions of pounds – would be cancelled...
plans to open a London office of the Libyan Investment Authority, a sovereign fund with $136billion (£83billion) to invest, would be jeopardised if Megrahi died in jail....revelations come after Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, broke ranks and admitted publicly for the first time that trade and oil agreements were an essential part of the British Government’s decision...Saif Gaddafi, the Libyan leader’s son, told Megrahi: “You were on the table in all commercial, oil and gas agreements that we supervised in that period....doubts on the Prime Minister’s claims (to the contrary.)...“This is further evidence that our Government has done a grubby deal with a nasty regime,” he said. “It is an oil-for-terrorist deal....the jubilant scenes that accompanied Megrahi’s return to Tripoli last month have severely jeopardised a meeting that Col Muammar Gaddafi was trying to engineer with President Barack Obama in New York later this month. The Libyan leader had hoped for a warm embrace from the president, proving that he was no longer an international pariah. The best he can now hope for is a fleeting exchange on the edge of a UN Security Council meeting.****Ha! We'll see if Obama can bring himself to overlook this small point in his general outreach and engagement-with-terrorists program.****
