It's my belief along with many on the left that Kenny McAskill made the right decision to release the Lockerbie bomber ( alleged) to die at home. Now it seems it was also the view of the Gordon Brown. Not, I agree, a popular or populist view but at least the Scottish administration had the courage of its convictions.Why didn't Brown express his view rather than doing his usual Macavity impression? Labour is now in the worst of all worlds. With many MPs condemning a move which it seems Number 10 backed all along.

WHY DIDN'T GORDON COME CLEAN?

I agree. I had a letter on this in The Independent today.
Scottish MSPs arguing over medical evidence regarding a man who will be dead in a few months is quite unseemly. Compassion and decency is what seperates us from bombers and shows our humanity.
I also agree. I also think that the behaviour of both the Liberal Democrats and in particular, the Scottish Labour party, has been pretty low all told.
I wish that someone other than the SNP woman MP whose name escapes me, would express the view held by many of the British victims relatives - that the trial was a sham and the convicted man a fall guy to suit American needs at the time - and lets face it, would we expect anything other?
