Megrahi is suffering from terminal prostate cancer. 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.

What did 0bama know, and when did he know it?

I'm guessing the real truth, if it were to come out and become widely known, could result in his impeachment and removal - even with the liberla slime and RINOs we currently has in congress (lower case, because they deserve no better)!
