The Lockerbie Case: Compare and contrast

Wednesday 26 October 2011

Compare and contrast

A recent article by Dr Jim Swire in the high-circulation student newspaper The Journal entitled "Lockerbie relative: Scotland must review the verdict against Megrahi" can be read here. A recent article in The Washington Times's Embassy Row blog headlined "Lockerbie avenged" setting out the views of Frank Duggan, president of Victims of Pan Am 103 Inc (not himself a Lockerbie relative) can be read here.

Swire is, as always, informative, compassionate and sane. Duggan in contrast is, as always, stupid, vicious and sick in the head.

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.
