The following excerpt is from today's Times of London.
"The Lockerbie bomber restored communications with his Scottish monitors today, but not before some serious questions were raised about the arrangements for keeping watch on a man convicted of killing 270 people."
Where is he? Is he at home? In hospital? Shouldn't he be dead by now?
The world of AML has changed out of all recognition over the last decade. Old crimes are subject to new laws, professional firms and financial institutions are subject to criminal sanctions and regulatory review as never before. Yet the individual client has virtually no say over what various national governments and their competing departments are doing to their rights and liberties in their name. This blog attempts to address the dilemma posed by the question “Quis custōdiet ipsōs custōdēs?”

Are Scottish Politicians Soft on Terror? II
Image via Wikipedia
It is reassuring to see that 70% of those disagreed with the Scottish politicians who made this decision. Here is the link to the details of the BBC poll: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/28_08_09_megrahipoll.pdf
This does appear to reaffirm the opinion of the blogosphere that this decision has harmed Scotland and the Scottish Prime Minister of the UK, Gordon Brown. Next time Mr Alex Salmond, the leader of the SNP, derides the opinion of bloggers as being unrelated to the real world whilst politicians have to make "hard choices", perhaps he could live by his words and make the "hard choice" of LISTENING TO HIS ELECTORATE when it comes to dealing with convicted terrorists.
Given that he is a professional politician who wishes to split up the UK, I have to say, fat chance of that happening.
