RF Scott Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 BBC News - Wikileaks: UK 'feared al-Megrahi jail death'ConfirmedNot 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.

Guest Gladstone Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 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.[/helpful] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Iain Gray ignorant of what the Labour party in London was doing or was he simply being two-faced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
