[This is the headline over a report in today's edition of The Scotsman. It reads as follows:]
Fears have been raised that Kenny MacAskill unduly influenced the course of criminal proceedings by delaying key decisions over the release of the Lockerbie bomber.
As Mr MacAskill faces MSPs today to answer questions about the release of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, a Lockerbie relative said it was "unclear" whether the justice secretary acted responsibly.
In a submission to Holyrood's justice committee, Matt Berkley, who lost his brother in the bombing, highlighted delays he says put pressure on the bomber to drop his appeal.
These include a 43-day wait to contact the relatives after the transfer application was made and a three-week wait to respond to Megrahi's acceptance of Mr MacAskill's invitation for a meeting.
Mr Berkley also said it was not clear the Scottish Government had "provided accurate, fair and balanced information to the prisoner". He said Mr MacAskill appeared not to have told Megrahi the range of options he had in relation to the dropping of his appeal.
"Did the justice secretary take adequate care, through promptness of action and appropriate information to the appellant, to avoid influencing the court process?" asked Mr Berkley in his submission.
A spokesman for Mr MacAskill said: "Megrahi and his legal team chose to abandon their appeal … their decision bore no relation to the release."
[This comment is somewhat disingenuous. Mr Megrahi and his legal team did not know whether repatriation would be granted (if at all) under prisoner transfer or compassionate release. To keep the first possibility open, the appeal had to be abandoned. How, therefore, can it seriously be said that their decision bore no relation to the release?]
MISSION LOCKERBIE: A part of the second chronology study.
ReplyDeleteThis is only a computers translation from Babylon, German in English.
On following date, 17th January 1989; 12th May 1989 and 15th September 1989, existed still no fragment of a MST-13 timer, neither still to photos with the illustration of the MST-13 timer of fragment!
The MST-13 fragment was seized for the first time, photographed at the beginning of January 1990, and registered as PT-35, by expert Allen Feraday (RARDE, Defense Research Agency military division at Fort Hatstead, UK)
Supported on a fax document from 12th of January 1990, which conveyed Allen Feraday of forensic examiner, at the Scottish senior Investigating Chief Stuart Henderson (SIO).
Thus the fraud becomes evident over the MST-13 fragment (PT-35): All Examinations documents, Reports, Label, Memorandum etc., which the MST-13 fragment (PT-35) before 1990 are concerned, was manipulated or falsified among other things by Feraday and Dr. Thomas Hayes, (RARDE):
> Polizei Label PI-995, was manipulated, (original PT-95 alter into Label PI-995;
> the Article: "cloth" (charred) was altered into "DEBRIS"(charred) andnothing has to do with the MST-13 fragment;
> Examinations side no. 51, of 12. May 1989 (later caused Auxiliary side), was manipulated and falsified partially;
> Examinations sides numbers, 51 to 55, were overwritten by Dr. Hayes with no. 52 to 56;
> Memorandum from 15th September 1989 von Feraday to Insp. William
Williamson was later written, a fraud !!!
> Polizei Label DP'137 from Dumfries & Galloway Constabulary, date of 10th September 1990, was amended to 15th September 1989, ;
> Photographie Ref.,8932, PI-995 was manipulated, photomontage and
falsified date;
> Testimonies by Dr. Hayes and Allen Feraday, Insp. William Williamson artially incorrectly, lies !
This, by ex FBI task Force Chief, Richard Marquise, admits nascent fax, from 12th of January 1990, (an important piece of evidence) to the Defence team of Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi, at the court in Kamp van Zeist, was suppressed !!!

Oh man I love spam! And eggs and spam! With some swiss cheese between! Smothered in BROWN gravy, not the color brown, but brown in duplikat style, determined to be a fraud.
