Now that all the evidence is out in the open. Here are some questons for the hapless Iain Gray and his adolescent Justice Mnister, Richard Baker.
When did you discover that your Labour colleagues in London were plotting to have Megrahi released?
When?
Was it before or after you started your attacks on the SNP government policy?
Why did you continue to attack the SNP, knowing that your own colleagues plotted Megrahi's release?
Will you now condemn Gordon Brown and his Ministers who plotted to have Megrahi released?
Why not and what does that say about you - Iain Gray - as a 'leader'?
What's it like being a patsy, used by the big boys in London?
Spoonsy... it is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and confirm what everyone is thinking.

Labour sold its soul to the middle England English middle class and after sellingd it they then prostitued it to anybody with some shiny coinage.
Your summary is perfect.

There's more than that Joan, Grey has kepy up the pretence that he wouldn't have released Megraghi - well maybe he should show us the evidence? Where are his e-mails to mssrs Brown, Straw, Murphy, Browne etc expressing his disagreement with their stated policy? Through which forums was he arguing against the release? Just about every single communication relating to this issues that can be released has been released. Grey should release his and if he doesn't it shows what liars he and Baker both are. I'm not holding my breath,

"When did you discover that your Labour colleagues in London were plotting to have Megrahi released?"
Probably a few months after actually being told of the plot. It would take the dear boy a wee while to figure out the meaning of what he had been told to get up to the point of realising.
After all at FM questions he only has the one question to be asked in triplicate each week giving his 'team' a full week to try to understand the 3 replies given and allow them to formulate another question in triplicate to be asked the following week.
PS. should 'your Labour colleagues' not be written as 'your Labour bosses and party leader' for accuracy

'I’ve always questioned how the Libyans got the Satires to fly at the airport and now we know who was behind it.'
Yep, one man: Kenny MacAskill. Oh, and his 'higher power'.

I think we really do need to hear their answers to these questions. Therefore, I have emailed both men to ask for their responses. I'll let you know of their answers when I get them, Joan.

So either he is a complete liar or a complete patsy.
And he is the leader of Scottish Labour... What does THIS tell us?

What this proves is that NO Labour politician can ever be trusted when they speak about Scotland, when they represent Scotland, when they are in Government or when they are out of Government.
Iain Gray, Richard Baker and their grubby Westminster cronies are beyond contempt.
I’ve always questioned how the Libyans got the Satires to fly at the airport and now we know who was behind it.
Really really angry about it.

Heard Simpson on Scotland at ten adamant that Iain Gray wouldn't of released al-Megrahi and is clammering for the medical records as he is a cancer specialist. He'll be aware of this new drug then.

Send a copy of the questions to Alex Salmond, they have to be asked. You are quite right.
Was I dreaming when R Buchanan said the SNP would be the happier of all the parties on the EBC.
