Duping perhaps rather naive leading churchmen into support is one thing. Another entirely is having the four cancer specialists dealing with Mr Megrahi now stating they were not consulted about the release (your report, 16 August).

Surely a medical release, with all the obvious implications at home and abroad, was not made solely on the opinion of the prison doctor?

The suspicion that Kenny Mac-Askill was pulling out all the stops to prevent a Megrahi appeal - and the resultant almost certain embarrassment for the justice minister, Scottish justice and the country - grows stronger with every new revelation.

An immediate release of all medical documentation is now essential.
