A fair re-examination of all the evidence is exactly what we have been calling for all along

[What follows is the text of a letter from Dr Jim Swire published in The Times today (but which, as far as I can see, does not appear on the newspaper’s website):]

Magnus Linklater has a long record of articles defending the story presented at the Zeist court in 2000-01, which claimed that a Libyan (Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi) sent the Lockerbie bomb by air from the island of Malta.

In his Opinion article (July 8), however, he claims that most lawyers up to and including several lord advocates would relish seeing the case back in court.

A fair re-examination of all the evidence is exactly what we UK relatives have been calling for all along.  Welcome, Magnus, to the ranks of those who seek such a resolution. May I sit by you in the court's public gallery please?
