Convicted Lockerbie bomber, Abdel Basset al-Megrahi, couldn't bother to speak with a CNN reporter at his Libyan home in August. Since his release by Scottish authorities for "compassionate" reasons 2009, he's been bedridden by prostate cancer. But Reuters was able to visit Megrahi's sick bed, and wouldn't you know it, the convicted murderer of 270 people in 1988 is fiestier than ever.
