4. Calling the SCCRC the "Scottish review board" is something another Lockerbie CTer does.

I'm just using his terminology so people here are on the same page, realize what we are talking about (the term has been used several times here), and start perhaps using SCCRC, which is actually correct.

You think the United States and Iran blew up Pan Am 103 over Scotland jointly? OK, that's a new one. No, that's not a request to hear your scenario. No doubt you can vigorously defend it.

But attacking the SCCRC report on Megrahi's appeal is about the only place you do have to go if you want to preserve the notion of anyone but Libya bombing the plane. By affirming all the basic evidence there and kneecapping any evidence to the contrary, including, what did you call it? "Runbbishing" the Golfer? Well, the news release I've linked to certainly does claim his story to be a mess of contradictions, not only between the different times he told it to them, but even during single tellings of the tale. Anyway, by affirming all of the evidence this was a Libyan plot, the SCCRC's report could be said to support the basic outline of the plot as we've come to understand it.
