So the fact that the evidence against him was unraveling means nothing?Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

In some cases. It is not fitting in this one imho.

OK, but what if the evidence used to convict is bogus?
Should a minister (or governor in the US) not use his/her power to correct a situation where the prisoner will likely be dead before appeals can work their way through the system?(\__/)

From the article:
(emphasis added)"Our justice system demands that judgement be imposed, but compassion be available.
"For these reasons and these reasons alone, it is my decision that Mr Mr Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi, convicted in 2001 for the Lockerbie bombing, now terminally ill with prostate cancer, be released on compassionate grounds and be allowed to return to Libya to die.

I guess the Libyans are smart enough not to be celebrating his release.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

It is not out of the realm of possibility that Scotland released him in order to keep the conviction intact. This will stop the appeal process.
Keep in mind the evidence was so weak to begin with they couldn't convict the other guy who was supposedly behind it.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

...and we aren't talking about the "other guy".
I'll accept a properly registered conviction from the Court over the conspiracy theory.
