Lockerbiegate: US Senators to get stuffed?

Is there no end to the arrogance of US Senators?

They have put Lockerbie back on the front page by ‘demanding’ that former Ministers in the Brown cabinet should appear before them to explain the decision to release Mehgrabi.

Is this just grandstanding or do they seriously expect anything more than the ‘get stuffed’ reply that they had when they tried to get the Scots to kow-tow to them?

 They have got the horse and cart in the wrong positions.

They should be inquiring into the safety of the guilty verdict and the conduct of the trial.

 They should be inquiring into the role of the CIA in bribing their chief witness and coaching him in court.

They should ask about discrepancies in the body-count.

They should determine whether or not there was a CIA intelligence team on board the flight.

They should ask to see all the depositions that would have been submitted to the second appeal hearing.

They should read the full report of the UN observers who described the trial as ‘a complete travesty’.
