  Ronnie Biggs was a career criminal who fully understood the consequences if he got caught. Having been caught and convicted he then escaped and made oor penal and judicial system look like mugs. Whilst I believe he should serve out his sentence, if he is genuinely ill and that illness is terminal we should release him.
  
  Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi is a different case altogether, in so far as his conviction is deeply flawed and he appears to be every inch the fall guy to allow Libya to be rehabilitated with the West. He should be released to the care of the Libyan penal system and we should let them decide whether to release him on compassionate grounds or not.
