Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset al-Megrahi is comatose, near death and likely to take secrets of the attack on Pan Am Flight 103 to his grave.
CNN found al-Megrahi under the care of his family in his palatial Tripoli villa Sunday, surviving on oxygen and an intravenous drip. The cancer-stricken former Libyan intelligence officer may be the last man alive who knows precisely who in the Libya government authorized the bombing, which killed 270 people.
"We just give him oxygen. Nobody gives us any advice," his son, Khaled Elmegarhi, told CNN.
Al-Megrahi was freed from a prison in Scotland in 2009 after serving eight years of a life sentence for blowing up the Pan Am jet, killing all 259 on board and 11 in the town of Lockerbie below. Doctors who had been treating him for prostate cancer gave him just three months to live, and he was released on compassionate grounds.

I’ll believe it when I see Qaddafi’s head on a pike. It’s not a coinkydink that both are still alive and kicking.

"CNN found al-Megrahi..."
And, they'll be the ones telling us "he's DEAD, Jim," and we can continue grazing. Nothing further to see here.

I'm a doctor (OK, not a medical doctor but who cares) so here's my advice:
Try cyanide.

Believe or not, my urgent prayer is that He accepts the G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, and rejects the moon god...and atones for the murders that he helped perpetrate.

"We just give him oxygen. Nobody gives us any advice," his son, Khaled Elmegarhi... He should be thankful for that. Under ObarryCare, all we're going to get is a pill.
