LETTER TO THE EDITOR


Dear Sir,

It has been somewhat depressing over the last few days watching Westminster and the Scottish Executive's unseemly squabble over whether or nor the "Lockerbie Bomber" has been included in a deal over Libyan prisoners.

As any open minded and fair person who has reviewed the evidence will tell you, Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi is totally innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted having been fitted up before a kangaroo court in the interest of political expediency.

Instead of emulating the excesses of a school debating society, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill should seek to right this national disgrace by instructing the immediate release of Mr al-Megrahi who should also be handsomely compensated for his ordeal at the hands of Scottish "Justice" - what better way to spend a good chunk of the money which will undoubtedly be saved by cancelling the Edinburgh trams?

Sincerely,


John Eoin Douglas
