Scotland made the final decision, they had to.

Anyway, the crux of the matter is, if someone is actually unable to stand trial because of their health then no amount of wishing and appealing can make it happen.

If they had to it wasn't entirely or in any way their decision was it?

Yes on topic if Scotland wish to proceed as per their laws then what we do or don't do here has little or no relevance.

What I mean is that they had to make the decision, and no one else.

Personally I don't feel the Scottish are to blame at all, how would it seem if we were treating him and/or he was hospitalised in the UK?... Huge diplomatic nightmare and national security risk.

Yes, I changed the bits in italics because you weren't grasping my point. I was emphasising that Scotland have their own laws and they make their own judgement calls. I used al-Megrahi only as an example.

Ah. well you can't blame me for your mistake but I do agree Scotland have the right to apply their own law in this case.
International terrorist activity maybe wasn't the best comparison.
