We have as much as thrown in the towel now that it is clear that the Scottish court is going to give the two accused men a fair trial, something this country was desperately trying to avoid. As it was shown on 60 Minutes, not one element of the case against the two Libyans will stand up to even the tiniest bit of scrutiny, something we knew all along, but we were hoping to give them a McVeigh-Nichols sort of trial, or the kind we had planned for Richard Jewell until this good ole boy, down and out cop wannabe turned out to have a good friend who was actually a courageous and honest lawyer.
