Deal or No Deal?

Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time this morning. However I have had a look at the correspondence and papers relating to the Megrahi case both from the UK and Scottish governments.
The Guardian very helpfully puts the links all on the one page CLICK HERE to view them.
So, did Megrahi receive any guarantees that [...]

Straws in the Wind

The Lockerbie issue is still high on the agenda of the Sunday papers and the rest of the media.
I am more convinced than ever of two things (just an opinion mind you):
1) The release of Megrahi by Kenny MacAskill was not part of any ‘deal’
2) The UK government has for many years been trying to [...]

All Medical Experts Now

As the Telegraph, Mail et al don their deep sea diving gear to see which new depths they can now plumb, Tory windbag Bill Aitken calls into question the medical prognosis on Megrahi.

The internet forums have descended predictably into remarks about ’skirt wearing [...]

Release

I have absolutely no idea if Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi planted the bomb which so cruelly and violently ended the lives of 270 people on Pan Am flight 103 and the town of Lockerbie in December 1988.
There have however been many doubts cast on the conviction by some [...]

What’s the Truth?

I haven’t done too much “serious” posting recently but I’ve been involved in discussion elsewhere on the stushie currently going on in Scotland over the status of the “Lockerbie Bomber” Abdel Basset Ali Al Megrahi who is currently serving his sentence in Greenock Prison. In July the Libyan Government applied to have Megrahi transferred to [...]
