Well it looks like it might not have been some kind of under-the-table commercial oil deal that caused the folks in Scotland to suddenly become “kinder, gentler” jailers and opt to release the Pan Am 270 bomber, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, after all.\u00a0 Recent news report indicate multiple deals may have been involved – including one for arms<\/a>.<\/p>\n
