Open season on MacAskill after Megrahi's release

If it goes on like this, they'll have to put Kenny MacAskill in protective custody. If the threats on the internet are anything to go by, the Scottish Justice Secretary is in mortal peril for his decision to release the Lockerbie bomber. Open season has been declared, now the director of the FBI, Robert Mueller, has accused MacAskill of "giving comfort to terrorists around the world". When I saw yesterday's headlines about the Scottish government being brought down, my fleeting thought was that the US had decided Scotland was now part of the axis of evil and in need of regime change.
