Morning Extra - Should the Lockerbie bomber be released?

Is a terminally-ill murderer worthy of compassion? The man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, has applied to be released on bail, pending his appeal. Earlier this month, his lawyer announced that the Libyan was suffering from advanced prostate cancer. Given both the doubts over his guilt and the fact he may have just months to live, would it be cruel not to show a frail man a bit of compassion in his final days? Or should no mercy ever be shown to a man convicted of killing 270 innocent civilians? Plus, more of your calls on the Ross/Brand affair. It's been an eventful 24 hours for the BBC: Jonathan Ross suspended from his BBC shows for three months without pay, the resignation of Radio 2's controller and now question marks over whether the BBC will be overly-timid about cutting-edge comedy in the future. Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
