This guy could very well keep browning the previously lukewarm off until they reach boiling point. Pressure for a full investigation into Lockerbie may increase even more.Jo Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536467440869239587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-56031007479808168852010-07-28T22:32:22.186+01:002010-07-28T22:32:22.186+01:00This really can't go on.

They have no authority over Parliaments in the UK, end of. <br /><br />And, as Rolfe points out, the fact that they are wasting so much time and money on something that is simply about their own elections later this year, is disgusting when at the centre of the whole Lockerbie issue is the fact that the wrong man was imprisoned.Jo Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536467440869239587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-15960720614703087732010-07-28T21:03:00.812+01:002010-07-28T21:03:00.812+01:00How about a "longer-term, multidimensional en...How about a "longer-term, multidimensional enquiry" into the <i>imprisonment</i> of al-Megrahi!<br /><br />This makes me want to throw up. It's not as if the evidence is ambiguous. He didn't buy those clothes. Once you acknowledge that, the entire case falls apart. His presence at the airport that morning (whatever he was up to), together with tray B8849 (whatever the hell that was I have no idea), simply do not a conviction make.<br /><br />Not only do they not a conviction make, they no more implicate Abdelbaset al-Megrahi in the crime than they implicate me. I don't care what he was up to that morning, he wasn't blowing up Pan Am 103. Sure, someone who was a JSO officer in the 1980s is probably not a person I'd want to invite to dinner. But I imagine a lot of people were JSO officers in the 1980s and have even travelled on coded passports, and we're not trying to bang them up for life in Greenock jail that I noticed.<br /><br />Puzzling over what might or might not have happened 22 years ago, or what most certainly didn't happen a year ago, is all very well. But the bottom line is that an innocent man has been imprisoned far from home and family, had justice delayed then denied, has developed a fatal illness, and on his deathbed has been turned into an international hate-figure. Surely this is a bit more of a scandal, and worthy of a proper investigation, than sordid, commonplace business lobbying of politicians.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206952819245786811noreply@blogger.com
