Darwin shudders

(Stewart Baker)

The one man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing has died, three years after being released by the Scottish Nationalist government for what was advertised as his last few weeks of life.

Evidently determined never to apologize, SNP leader Alex Salmond defended that release today, saying that “regardless of people’s views they can have complete confidence that it was taken on the basis of the due process of Scots Law.”

The application of Scots law instead of British law is the result of what the Scots call devolution.  A remarkably apt name that, when you think about it.
