Gordon Brown has revealed that "He thought the scences in Lybia welcoming Megrahi back home was repulsive.
Wont reveal his thoughts on the Kenny MacAskill decision though. Personally Kenny was right based on Scottish Justice not not the USA FBI justice.

I suppose that we minions as labourers and workers for the privileged upper classes do not really ever have a voice or opinion on political workings or will ever do so. However, I for one have never believed that Megrachi acted alone. Kenny Mc.A has answered many similar questions as to why he released him on humane grounds from many of his own and other opposing parties. Why they keep asking him to repeat his answer ad finitum I do not know. Maybe our Scottish assembly is a bit thicker than we realise. Surely an answer given should not asked the same question again. I am not an SNP supprter by any means so I think I can voice an opinion on this decision. I think it was the right decision, the humane decision, and should be applauded to show that we are all humanists in this land after all. given that Megrahi will die soon anyway. The bigger and more relevent question should be persued though! Why was only one man convicted for the Lockerbie bombing?? One man surely could NOT have acheived it on his own! |

I agree with you Allan, no way did he do that alone.
If in fact it was him who done it, in the first place? But, I do agree, it was a humane thing to do, which if he did this. He didn't deserve to be treated so well. It's quite a tricky topic, and I'm sure we won't all agree on it. |

Not to put too fine a point on it all, I'm totally scunnered with the whole scenario. The news media would be better occupied with why we cannot forecast tomorrow's weather correctly and stop picking scabs off old wounds. |

The guy was a scapegoat and eh think all countries that are involved agreed on his release including USA. 
But USA has tae save face wae the propaganda that they had given oot in the past on the subject, so hiv tih act tough and disagree. 
Efter ah oil is more important than lives.

| AllanP |
Agreed, if I can unerstaun whit yer suggestin' I think. ( HELP!) |

Why is there so much focus on whether he might've been innocent? He was found guilty and 8 years down the line he decides to appeal against that, having already lost an appeal against the length of the sentence. Now pardon me for thinking something isn't quite right with somebody not only waiting 8 years to appeal against their conviction but to also mount another appeal over length of sentence first during that time. Somebody genuinely innocent would've gone straight to the appeal against conviction and done it a lot sooner as well. | ||

He was the ultimate Scapegoat I look forward to the UK government releasing their document even although its too late. | ||

I dont think the US agreed on his release. However, it was none of their business either. The man was convicted in a Scottish court, not in the USA. He probably was a scapegoat, but dont think for a minute one man is not capable of planning and carrying out a terrorist attack. What better way to keep things secret than to do them on your own. That said, its over and done with and we all have to move on. | ||

In case you didn't realise it, the exploding of that flight was aimed at the U.S. It was a U.S airliner carrying a vast majority of U.S citizens. It wasn't supposed to explode over lockerbie either - that happened as a quirk, it was supposed to explode over the Atlantic. The list of nationalities btw are thus:
American British Argentinian Israeli French Swiss Indian Irish Italian Hungarian Australian Guyanese Swedish German Filipino Beligian South African Trinidadian Polish Iranian Spanish Finnish Dominican Republic Canadian Jamaican It would've been better had it exploded out over the Atlantic because then it would've been out of the jurisdiction out of the small minded of Scotland with their "It's oor air disaster and nothing to dae with anybody else" mentalities - like yours.. oh.. and macaskill's. Over 25 nationalities on that airliner, with terrosim the business of every country in the world, and still folk like you feel that they can say it's only Scotland's business cause it erm.. happened in Scotland.

So that mean's America should stay out of Scotland's business.
They harp on about justice,where is the justice shown to Gary McKinnon,eh? He allegedly committed his crime in England so why should America interfere with British courts? |
||
| Merak |
McKinnon was hacking into the U.S's computer networks. It doesn't matter if he was doing it from the moon!!! How can you say that is none the U.S's business? It was THEIR systems he was targetting!
As a matter of interest. Are you also saying that it should've been scotland's (or the UK's) duty to fork out the compo awarded to relatives of flight 103 cause the plane came out of the sky over scotland? I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be saying that since you think that the legal side of it is no other country's business.. so the compo side of it should be no other country's business either by your reckoning. |

| rickyross3359 |
Are you suggesting that Scotland should have paid the compensation to the victims???? 
|
||
| Merak |
On the basis of what I'm hearing over the "none of any other Country's business" theory, then yes, because therefore compo is not any other Country's business either. | ||

Aye,anno. Remember the Scottish fella who was lost in Florida and knocked on a door to ask for help with directions and the owner of the house promptly shot him dead,did his relatives get any help from the U.S. Govt? Not a chance in hell. Did the killer get off with it,you bet he did,protection of private property. |

Megrahi has now died in his homeland of Libya according to news media.
Time to move on and discuss other problems in our life. |
||
| Merak |
apparently he still lives and breathes. | ||
| AllanP |
Not yet another conspiracy theory. We have had more than enough of those. Do prove it! |
