UK wanted al-Megrahi release

Not quite ' confirmed', the leaks just state that some diplomats were "relieved", which is far from an official UK Government position on the matter.

However, good to see that it indicates that the Scottish Government weren't complicit in anything shady concerning the release.

Someone gave me a long report to read on al-Megrahi a while ago which I haven't got round to reading yet, but it apparently shows that his guilt in the bombings was "questionable" at best, so he probably should never have been locked up in the first place. I'm going to make a point at reading that report very soon.

...all while Iain Gray in the Scottish Parliament attempted to make political gain out of his opposition to the release. Was Iain Gray ignorant of what the Labour party in London was doing or was he simply being two-faced?
