Megrahi wasn't 'handed over'. <br /><br />If Scotland had been under an embargo with the expectable massive costs for the people, I wonder if Mr. Leslie would need to be forced to go to trial in another country if that would be what it took to lift the embargo? <br />Would they have had to handcuff him and force him screaming to an airplane?<br /><br />"I actually read the warrant over to him."<br />"It took approximately five hours because you had to read the warrant over a line at a time, it went through an interpreter and also as part of that process, the 270 names of the victims had to be read over as well."<br /><br />Naturally. The legal necessity and validity of a translator during a single five hours session translating a document and 270 names to an indicted should be clear to anyone, not only Mr. Leslie.<br /><br />"The former chief superintendent added: 'There was never any reaction from him. It was very much staid and what you would expect from someone, I would imagine, that's been trained to give no reaction.'"<br /><br />Agree.<br />It is most suspicious if Megrahi didn't fall asleep during the five hours, drummed the table, or shouted 'What the F is this senseless hour-long bullshit supposed to be good for, if not for harassing me? How about a document that could have been reviewed by my lawyers, and that I could sign?'<br /><br />This must have taken very hard training, or possibly sedation, a sign of conspiracy to elude the justice we always seek.<br /><br />SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.com
