When Reading About the Lockerbie Trial you'll see that Courts All
around the World Have Lost There Credibility: Tennessee Judicial Reform
is About Making the Courts in Tennessee
Credible.
On Saturday night a Scottish newspaper published an ENTIRE
800+ report from the Scottish Court equivalent of the COJ the report has a whole chapter a CIA agent that I had written on my blog about and
also mentions that Iran NOT Libya might be responsible for the bombing of Pan Am
flight 103.
This government report that up until now has not been released for
National Security reasons basically vindicates the Lockerbie bomber... It has
NOT been in the American press.
Why NOT
Mark SIlverman?
While reading the report I discovered I might have spent time in Kuwait with (1992) one of
the guys that was a participant in the act of terrorism. He
might be the same man mentioned in the report who was identified as the assistant to a Palestinian
guy who processed money given to bring down the plane. Money given by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. His profession was currency
trading (money laundry).
Years ago I did low level research but never really knew what I was
researching. Back them I just did what they told me. I actually put a picture
of him and me on my blog. http://nissanwhistleblower.blogspot.com/2012/03/scottish-goverrnments-report-released.html
How bizarre is that?

A clear signal ... From the Lockerbie Case Website
[The following
opinion piece is published today
on the website of Scottish lawyers’ magazine The Firm. It comes from the
pen of the magazine’s editor, Steven Raeburn.]
The publication of the SCCRC’s report into the case of Abdelbaset Ali
Mohmed Al Megrahi (the redundant term ‘Lockerbie bomber’ is clung onto now only
by the vanishingly few) sheds valuable and useful light on few corners of the
Pan Am 103 debacle. However, more revealing than the contents themselves are the
manoeuvrings surrounding its release, and what they reveal about the tainted,
corrupted justice system that stood in the way of its publication for five long,
unnecessary and criminally culpable years.
The calibre of the Crown Office and its personnel can be judged fairly by the equally odious Shirley McKie fingerprint case, in which the entire coordinated monolith of the police, Crown Office and Law Officers held the moral low ground over a sustained fourteen year period, until an inquiry forced apologies to be issued earlier this year. The Pan Am 103 case is depressingly similar.
The Crown Office persistently and desperately clings to the manufactured fantasy of Megrahi’s guilt, a fabrication specifically designed to implicate Libya as a matter of geopolitical convenience. It has steadfastly opposed every opportunity to undertake its duty and apply justice in this case. The Crown has been conducting an elaborate charade almost from the outset, with the explicit, curiously coordinated support of the Scottish Government, and tacit consent of the Westminster Government, whose own malfeasance from Thatcher downwards is transparent and warrants investigation.

The UN appointed special observer to the Zeist
proceedings, Hans Kochler, concluded that "the falsification of evidence,
selective presentation of evidence, manipulation of reports, interference into
the conduct of judicial proceedings by intelligence services," he observed at
Megrahi’s trial were "criminal offences in any country." The Crown and
Government efforts to suppress the SCCRC report between 2007 and now have
sustained that criminality with disturbing consistency.
Responsibility can be laid directly at the door of successive Lords Advocate from Fraser on. Elish Angiolini, who received the SCCRC report upon publication, was retained and inducted into Alex Salmond’s cabinet, voiding any possibility of judicial independence, creating a toxic blend in a case that - above all others - exemplifies the need for a separation of powers, a principle sadly lost in post-devolution Scotland. Under her watch, Crown Agent Norman McFadyen was reported to the police by MSP Christine Grahame, now head of the Justice Committee, for allegedly tampering with crucial evidence in this case. The machinery of justice was frozen into suspicious paralysis in response.
A petition currently sits before Grahame’s Justice Committee calling for a wide ranging Pan Am 103 inquiry. In the second of his hurriedly released statements yesterday, Alex Salmond said the publication of the SCCRC report was “in many ways [..] far more comprehensive than any inquiry could ever hope to be,” sending as clear a signal as could be telegraphed to Scotland’s close-knit judicial coven not to initiate one.

By publishing the SCCRC report, journalism has stepped
in where Scotland’s justice system - poorly led and manifestly unfit for purpose
- continues to fail. Pens need to continue to be mightier than the current limp
judicial swords.
