WELL DONE ALL IN THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT-YOU TOLD THEM TO FUCK OFF!

THE Scottish Government has flatly rejected a request by senators in Washington to testify on its role in the decision to free the Lockerbie bomber.
Within minutes of the request being made, the Scottish Government announced that neither Mr MacAskill nor Dr Fraser would be accepting the invitation.The Scottish Government justified the decision on the grounds that they had "no contact of any kind" with BP.
Instead they say they will only deal with questions from senators in writing, and from this side of the Atlantic. 

Well done my Government.  I asked you to tell them to FUCK OFF and YOU DID!  Quite rightly.  How dare a legislature in another sovereign country ask the leaders of another country to appear before them.  Tell Obama to come over here and explain RENDITION FLIGHTS landing at Prestwick Airport.
Jack Straw and the original POODLE, TONY BLAIR have also been 'invited' and although I hate RAT BOY AND WEASEL, I hope they turn it down as well.

Kenny MacAskill has however said that he doesn't mind appearing at a meeting to be convened in the Hague.  That's it KENNY, get the Yanks on strange turf and then bring up all the shite we know has been buried by the CIA about Lockerbie and the part they played in it and what they knew prior to it happening.  Oh and you could maybe ask them about the part the American Government played in getting oil exploration rights in Libya for their oil companies.  Four times more than what BP, have had.

C.I.A. AGENTS ON TRIAL IN ITALY

Later this month, a Milan court is due to return verdicts on 26 Americans, all but one of them CIA agents, accused of the extraordinary rendition of a radical Egyptian cleric, Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr. Armando Spataro, a public prosecutor who made his name with a series of big mafia trials in the Nineties, wants to send the 26 Americans down for between ten and 13 years. Because the agents are being tried in absentia, and the US won't extradite them, it is unlikely any of them will ever end up behind bars.


Nonetheless, a guilty verdict would still be of symbolic importance: a repudiation of the unchecked zeal with which the Bush administration chased its enemies in the aftermath of 9/11; a firm message that no intelligence agency is above the law, even in an allied country; and a significant victory for the independence of the Italian judiciary, which had been under government pressure not to pursue this case.


"Democracies are founded on principles that cannot be renounced even in moments of emergency," Spataro said last week. "If we gave up that vision we would have partly lost the fight against terrorism."


HOW TRUE. I just wish that our judiciary would have been as bold. 9/11 was a horrific incident but when democracies turn to RENDITION and TORTURE of suspects on evidence which is flimsy to say the least, I believe then that it legitimises acts of terror. For every cleric grabbed off the streets in a foreign country, a thousand are converted to the ways of terrorism.
