Straw/Megrahi - There's mud being stirred up
An emphatic denial from Mr Straw about the alleged allegations re the freeing of Megrahi, they're saying it was a trade deal and a large British oil company's in the picture too.
Jack Straw has no say here north of the border anyways, we have our own jurisprudence, Westminster is worried in case some of the mud being thrown around about the allegations lands in his court.
Bet the Americans are furious if it's true, "but we'll never know will we", it seems an approach was made by the UK 2 years ago to do a prisoner exchange but abandoned because Westminster knew Scotland would veto any such move.
