Waite’s backing

[This is the headline over a short report published today on the HeraldScotland website. It reads as follows:]

Terry Waite will put his name to Dr Jim Swire’s Justice for Megrahi petition calling for an inquiry into the Lockerbie case and Abdelbaset al Megrahi’s conviction.

The former hostage said the time is right for a case review.

[The announcement was made in the course of Mr Waite's 2011 SACRO Lecture, delivered last night in Edinburgh.]

I thought the comment from "Joe Smith, Denny" to this article beggared belief!

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.
