100% behind the Cardinal. (Sorry, couldn't resist it...)

Mind you, he has more than a point. Some of what he says isn't just opinion, it is a statement of facts. Scottish politicians are answerable to Scottish voters, full stop. If you bring in the political aspect, then you have to accept that the US senate may have a right to get to the bottom of this, but it has no right, morally or legally to sit in judgement of other countries, whilst at the same time calling them "partners."

I loved it when George Galloway, a politician I don't have much time for but however, he did appear when they were discussing Saddam Hussain. I loved the bit about visiting Saddam the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeldt, the difference being he wasn't selling him arms.

As a British citizen, I am somewhat suspicious that the US senate think they are a higher court of authority than any equivalent in other countries. A bit disingenuous when you think about it. After all, they debate federal issues, and correct me if I am wrong, but the USA still murder prisoners for federal offences? Methinks the progress of civilisation still has a "keep banging the rocks together guys" aspect to it?
