Oh, come now. Asserting that because Obama was somewhat compromising helped lead the U.K into thinking they could send Megrahi back to Libya without repercussions is “after this therefore because of this” thinking. Find someone in the U.K government that shares responsibility for the decision to actually say they “get away with it.” Absent that this post has no substance.

Just because Iran paid for the exercise does not preclude Libya from acting as subcontractor.

What do you make of Eric Margolis latest column. He has a very different take on everything, and Eric seems to say he does believe the guy is innocent.

“Why are the Americans trying to kill me, Mister Eric?” he asked, genuinely puzzled. I told him because Libya was harboring all sorts of violent anti-western revolutionary groups, from Palestinian aircraft hijackers to IRA bombers and Nelson Mandela’s ANC.

1988: A US Navy Aegis cruiser, `Vincennes,’ violates Iranian waters and `mistakenly’ shoots down an Iranian civilian Airbus airliner in Iran’s air space.

Five months later, Pan Am 103 with 270 aboard is destroyed by a bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland. The US and Britain pressure Scotland to convict Megrhai, who insists he is innocent. Some critics accused CIA of faking evidence to blame Libya. A good number of intelligence experts believe the attack was Tehran’s revenge for the downing of the Iranian airliner, carried out by Mideast contract killers paid by Iran.

It should be pointed out that that the letter was sent 2 years ago, then nothing happened.

What was that “arms for hostages” thing again? Just a figment of my imagination? Good, good, I’ll go back to my nap now.

Dang David are we reading the same article? It looks to me as if the US did everything they could to keep this slimeball in Scotland.

Rule of Thumb:

NO! We don’t want to “more like Europe.”

Period.
