Scottish Justice
It sure is good to know that Scottish politicians agree that while Abdel Baset al-Megrahi served only eight years for murdering 270 people, it was all in the name of “justice” rather than any kind of quid pro quo. But what I want to know is, how on earth did Scotland get full jurisdiction over this matter, to the exclusion of all other interested parties? This was a flight from London to New York, whose only connection to Scotland was that the bomb happened to go off there. If the bomb had gone off a few hours later, while the plane was over the Arctic circle, who’d have had custody of al-Megrahi then? Santa?
