In the past, I have been critical of the weakness of The Scotsman's coverage of issues relating to the Lockerbie disaster and the ongoing appeal by Abdelbaset Megrahi. Today, however, I wish to deliver a bouquet rather than a brickbat.
The paper runs three articles (plus an editorial, which I have not read because it is in the subscription section of the paper's website). Two of the articles are by Michael Howie and are headlined "Al-Megrahi: the dilemma" and "Lockerbie bombing: Appeal could go ahead even if he's dead". The third is an op-ed piece by Tam Dalyell under the headline "Issue is not only Megrahi, but integrity of Scottish legal system … this case does not cease simply because of death".
