The Lockerbie Case: The dog that can’t bark

The dog that can’t bark

This is the headline over an article by Megrahi biographer John Ashton posted today on the Megrahi: You are my Jury website. It deals with the claims that have been made by various representatives of the Libyan NTC government about the supposed personal involvement of Colonel Gaddafi in the Lockerbie bombing, and the role allegedly played by Abdelbaset Megrahi. Evidence, of course, came there none.

Comments

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.
