The Lockerbie Case: "Outstanding dedicated work"!

"Outstanding dedicated work"!

On the website of the Dumfries & Galloway Standard I have just discovered a report on a visit by Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Kenny MacAskill, to Dumfries on 18 March. It contains the following gem:]

... he refused to comment on the Lockerbie bombing investigation.

“That is a live case and it would be inappropriate for me to go into that. All I can say is that the outstanding dedicated work will continue by the police and the crown, who are doing everything they can to bring closure to it.”

Comments

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
