The Lockerbie Case: US confidence

Monday 29 October 2007

US confidence

The United States Consul-General in Edinburgh, Lisa Vickers, during a recent visit to Lockerbie, indicated that the US was confident in the ability of the Scottish criminal justice system to answer the remaining questions about the disaster.

"We are looking very interestedly at what is happening with the appeal," she said.

"Of course we have full faith and confidence in the Scottish judicial system to resolve the remaining questions."

Comments

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
