The Lockerbie Case: Tories want Megrahi health reports

Tories want Megrahi health reports

This is the headline over an article in today's edition of The Scotsman. It can be read here. I draw attention to it only because of the readers' comments that follow the article.

The point made once or twice that Ronnie Biggs was released before Megrahi and he's still alive, is a very pertinent one.

Where are the recriminations against the Labour party because Ronnie Biggs hasn't had the decency to die on time either?

Have you not thought that Biggs was released to pave the way for Megrahi's release?

Well, when I heard Biggs was to be released, I said, "That's it, Megrahi will be out in a fortnight."

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.
