Somewhere I see a Sandwoo...So happy to hear that! <br /><br />Somewhere I see a Sandwood-man looking at his child, and thinking: <br /><br />"I wonder what would make you, my dearest, happier?<br /><br />To have a father that played safely along with the system, risking nothing and trying to lie so long for the man in the mirror, that he'd end up believing him? <br /><br />A father, who by doing that opened up for promotions and better salaries, anod other opportunities that you would benefit from? But also a father who'd hope you'd never read the details of the case?<br /><br />Or having a father who sacrificed his career in a rotten, probably unchangeable system, just because he followed his conscience?"<br /><br /><br />If that is the choice, it is not so easy. As the history shows, most in that situation made the first decision.<br /><br />I definitely know what I would have wanted from my own father, whom I believe amazingly did not lie a single time for me in his whole life (which, I suppose, simply makes him an oddball).<br /><br />But I see a world of rapidly sliding values.<br /><br />What is easy to know is what the Sandwood-men really think about safety the conviction of Megrahi, and the inexcusable acts that it took to get there.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-89422942595756038962016-09-19T16:23:38.062+01:002016-09-19T16:23:38.062+01:00We still have faith in Sandwood.We still have faith in Sandwood.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-43423287758544672582016-09-19T06:43:12.838+01:002016-09-19T06:43:12.838+01:00Highly interesting.

And well done, as the trial was needed by Libya, having its arms painfully twisted.<br /><br />We were all fooled, well, at least I was, believing that our good democratic governments and our great free press would ensure reason and justice. <br /><br />I have gotten painfully wiser, and know now that our fine international trials are just a way for the stronger to gain formal legitimacy in the oppression of the weaker.<br /><br />We still count the first SCCRC verdict as the absolutely only slip in this process.<br /><br />As time goes by I wonder if JfM still has faith in Sandwood, or default-negativism remains a safe bet in everything that somehow has any judicial system involved.<br /><br />SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.com
