While Gordon Brown is telling the world no deal was ever done over Megrahi todays papers are full of quotes from the Libyan Government saying Megrahi was always on the negotiating table.

Once again showing greed over Justice.

If true then Mr MacAskill has allowed himself to be used as a puppet and for this reason alone he should stand down as Justice Secretary.

On top of that I believe in the Innocence of Megrahi, and feel that Because he has been faced with an appalling decision which saw him with no option but to drop his appeal (Blackmailed) after the SCCRC have spent £1.8 Million of our money and found serious flaws with his conviction, Mr MacAskill allowed this to happen and should Resign.

For Mr MacAskill to stand up in front of the world and claim Scotlands Police could not protect Megrahi if he was released on bail is scurrilous to say the least and a ridiculous statement, And for this he should "Resign"

The dropping of the appeal allowed Kenny MacAskill to stand up and praise the Scottish Judicial System who we all know is lacking and a disgrace in our names, and again, for this he should Resign.

The biggest shock I think the Americans will have is that Mr MacAskill stood up and claimed he believed in megrahi's conviction then Basically set him free.

It seems when we look at the American system of justice Megrahi would have been Hung, Drawn & Quartered and never given any chance to set his conviction straight or right his wrongful conviction.
Compassion certainly is not seen in any of their Judicial System.

Had I thought Megrahi guilty I could in no circumstances ever support his release under Compassionate Release but would have supported him being Bailed to a safe house to continue his appeal.

We must remember the very big hullaballoo over Myra Hyndley, How many on this forum would have supported her release for the crimes she was convicted of.

We must also remember the actions of the British Government and Home Secretary when the decision to free her popped up.

She would never have been shown any Compassion by the Public Nor any Government Officials.

In my mind Mr MacAskill made the wrong decision and brought disgrace on our country and he should resign.

As for the Boycott Scotland site, Well we could name a million reasons to boycott America and we don't, so rise above it folks and ignore.

Hi Kieran,

When these, ‘who said what?’, arguments start up the real issues get lost.

If I have interpreted your postings wrongly then I apologise.

My central premise is as stated in my postings.

I don't disagree with the release of Mr Megrahi. What I didn't like was the welcome that was orchestrated when he returned to Lybia. I can understand people being upset at this.

I feel it was right to release him and feel it was wrong that he had to drop his appeal before he could be released on "compassionate" grounds.

This whole case is highly emotive for many people.

I do agree that mcAskill is probably the fall guy in all of this.

Time will tell I guess.

Hi Scotkaz,

I totally agree although the 'heroes return' might have been anticipated.

The dropping of the appeal, which was not required to obtain compassionate release, is a blow to those who wished for a full enquiry into the whole Lockerbie affair.

Let's hope that today's debate and future revelations bring some clarity to the situation.

I fear however that no meaningful enquiry will ever be heard now that the political and economic goals of the British and American governments have been realised.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking but then this is what so many contributors to this forum have been experiencing for years.

Best wishes,

Iain
