Mr al-Megrahi
With many in Whitehall assuming that Gordon Brown has ‘lost Scotland’, it may be left to the USA to decide how to treat this emerging micro-power in the North Atlantic. As for playing hardball, dropping the hint that Scotland might someday be welcome as the 51st state of the United States if the British union buckles under the weight of so many recent policy failures, might just have a sobering effect on the Nationalists. The more cerebral ones know that such an idea would appeal to plenty who don’t fancy occupying a Celtic twilight zone for the next fifty years.
IMO: Unlike the case of Ronnie Biggs, there do seem to be genuine grounds for al-Megrahi's release, which after all is the current issue.
"Some fear that if he drops his appeal and is released on compassionate grounds due to his advanced prostrate cancer, the chances of the truth ever surfacing about who was responsible for this terrorist act will never be known."
IMO: Of course, that is also the case.
IMO: I'm afraid that surviving in 'a Celtic twilight zone fo the next fifty years' sounds unattractive.
