ScottishJohn 25 #2 July 23, 2010 Agreed. Scotish or any British MP are not accountable to the US Senate. For the record, I did not agree to Megrahi’s release , i think it was the wrong decision.---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erroll 49 #5 July 23, 2010 QuoteAgreed. Scotish or any British MP are not accountable to the US Senate. I believe a US Senate sub-commitee can subpoena non-citizens should the need arise. I don't know what they would do if the non-citizen still 'declines'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottishJohn 25 #8 July 23, 2010 I think that they politely declined the invitation. T o be honest , is this about the release of al-Megrahi or is it purely just to smear BP. My personal opinion is that BP doesn't have enough influence to request the release of al-Megrahi for oil contracts.---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #9 July 23, 2010 QuoteWTF .. tell them to fuck off. Exactly. On behalf of the clowns "representing" me in Congress, I would like to apologize to the people of the United Kingdom.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

JohnRich 4 #10 July 23, 2010 QuoteWTF .. tell them to fuck off. When the Scottish leadership released the terrorist responsible for killing all our citizens in the Lockerbie bombing, they effectively told all of America to "fuck off". Scotland can now kiss my ass. And I used to like 'em... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottishJohn 25 #12 July 23, 2010 You shouldn't let your anger at a bad political decision by Scottish MP's cloud your judgment of the rest of Scotland or the people. We certainly don't blame the whole of America for funding the IRA for years.---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My personal opinion is that BP doesn't have enough influence to request the release of al-Megrahi for oil contracts.

My personal opinion is that BP doesn't have enough influence to request the release of al-Megrahi for oil contracts. I would say how much influence would depend on how much BP stock certain people own. Given the huge pensioner investments in BP stock, that answer is: a lot of British and American people own BP stock. Broken down, I read somewhere it could mean 1 out of every 6 British, and 1 out of every 7 Americans.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

As we said, the descision (by a few politicians) may well have been wrong but another set of alien politicians has zero right to expect them to kowtow and go cap in hand over the pond to answer any of their daft questions.

billvon 2,402 #18 July 23, 2010 >When the Scottish leadership released the terrorist responsible for >killing all our citizens in the Lockerbie bombing . . .

nigel99 144 #19 July 23, 2010 QuoteWTF .. tell them to fuck off. it is amazing that the US government has resorted to what amounts to schoolboy type grand standing. It is pretty freaking transparent that they are out "to get" BP. Tell them to f*ck off.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
