Lockerbie continued…

The Lede Blog reports that Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, the man convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing who was released by the Scottish government last week on “compassionate grounds”, was rushed to a Tripoli hospital on Sunday.  Jake and I have written on punishment, the various arguments for releasing people from jail and, more recently, the al-Megrahi case.  Sunday’s developments further underscore the considerations I raised.
