He knows he initially blocked publication: many of us know this too so I for one don't see why he continues to avoid admitting this. <br /><br />JFM have repeatedly pointed out this was a crime committed in Scotland, investigated in Scotland and prosecuted in Scotland (even if in Zeist) under Scots Law. This is therefore a Scottish affair. That MacAskill seeks to drag Westminster into it after his earlier tantrums about England "interfering in the integrity of Scots Law" is risible.Jo Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536467440869239587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-62879011887074008352012-02-22T21:35:27.533+00:002012-02-22T21:35:27.533+00:00Can I have some guidance from the lawyers amongst ...Can I have some guidance from the lawyers amongst you, please?<br />Kenny MacAskill seems to be saying that the discussions must be between Ken Clarke and the SCCRC because it is they (the latter) who know the contents of the report. Why is that relevent? Surely that does not put the Committee in a position to negotiate on the issue for the Scottish Government.<br />Also, does this suggest that the American agencies or Gaucci himself will have no say on whether their evidence in the document is released unredacted although Ken Clarke can decide on these issues? In whose interests is Ken Clarke working?Grendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207349599903280867noreply@blogger.com
