so, What do people make of this?

It may not be what the US feel is appropriate, but it's not their decision, it's for the Scots to follow their laws and the US should respect that.

The Chief of the Metropolitan Police would not call up the President to comment on an issue of American law that he personally disagreed with, it is incredibly unprofessional and shows in inherent lack of respect for a foreign judicial code of practice.

It's a shame that the US views this event as a 'mistake', they should respect the sovereignty of a foreign ally in respecting their legal system.

And the calls for a boycott of UK and Scottish products is outrageous, to even suggest that Scotland is in any way connected to terrorism, or would so blatantly defraud their own judicial system for political and economic motives is incredibly disrespectful.

The US need to realise that their system and their views are not the views of everyone else. The UK and Scotland have stood by the US through countless political and actual conflicts in recent years, and to be slandered and treated in such a manner by the President, the Secretary of State, Head of the FBI, Chief of the Military and Senators is outrageously hurtful.
