My hiking buddy asked me what I thought of releasing the convicted Lockerbie, Scotland, bomber, because he is terminally ill with prostate cancer. Although former Libyan secret service agent Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi has maintained his innocence, he was handed a life sentence for murdering 270 people around Christmastime 1988.
My thought? Release him from a jet at 27,000 feet over the Atlantic—100 feet for every person whose life was lost.
But what if he really wasn’t guilty?
