Have just read the news and I'm embarrassed to carry a UK passport... "Jack Straw has reignited the row over the release of the Lockerbie bomber by admitting for the first time that trade and oil were an essential part of the Government's decision to include him in a prisoner transfer deal with Libya."
Roll on the election so we can get rid of this apology of a government.... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adam Buckland Sent: 05 September 2009 07:31 To: ProFox Email List Subject: RE: [OT] Dear Leader to talk directly to 'Schoochildren' The Scottish Government is run by the Scottish Nationalists.... They are only interested in Scotland and can't or don't care about the bigger picture. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: 04 September 2009 22:15 To: ProFox Email List Subject: RE: [OT] Dear Leader to talk directly to 'Schoochildren' Maybe you're right, they had no legal option. They still had the ability to put pressure on the Scottish Government not to do it. Obama could have made a public plea on TV for the Scottish Government not to release him, or he could have threatened them in private. He apparently did nothing. I thought Obama was loved the world over, yet Scotland spit in his eye. So much for being loved. --- On Fri, 9/4/09, Adam Buckland <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Adam Buckland <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: [OT] Dear Leader to talk directly to 'Schoochildren' > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, September 4, 2009, 4:31 PM > I agree it's an abomination... but > the US had no option... no crime was > committed within US jurisdiction that he could have been > tried against > and UK law doesn't allow for someone to be tried twice for > the same > crime so even if it had been a crime to kill in the US to > kill someone > in a foreign country he would never have been extradited. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > On > Behalf Of Michael Madigan > Sent: 04 September 2009 18:39 > To: ProFox Email List > Subject: RE: [OT] Dear Leader to talk directly to > 'Schoochildren' > > I still believe extradition was still viable, but, the > United States > still seems that it went along with the release with zero > opposition. > After all the years it took to finally bring him to trial, > to release > him in only 8 years is an abomination. > > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
