Sorry--but I mustpoint at possibilities again! I'm afraid that after the monstrous procession of lies ---lies which were meant---and succeeded in some cases---to "justify" an illegal attack on Iraq, I am never again about to give credence to any statement emanating from either Westminster or the White House unless absolute proof is laid before the World. An economic embargo was in place againstLibyafor mny years, and was causing serious economic hardship. The concession by Gadaffi that Lybia would accept liability for the consequences of the Lockerbie bombing was therefore forthcoming under duress, and is consequently "suspect" --as such a concession would be in any court of law in a civilised society. I am not convinced that the person imprisoned in Scotland as the direct perpetrator of the outrage is the guilty party, nor am I convinced fully that Lybia had any part in the planning or the completion of the act. My suspicions my well be misplaced---but in view of the proven record of prevarication and deceit of those who now crow in a kind of grotesque triumph---Blair, Straw, Bush et al--I cannot accept that anything they now say has any perfect relationship to the truth. National "confessions" and "reforms" have been forced under duress from individuals and nations before, and not too far in the past, at that. Think about the economic blockade of Venezuala, which succeeded, and the similar economic blackmail of Cuba, which hasn't [yet ]succeeded. I am very pleased to see the re-emergence of Lybia into the international society of trading nations.but only if Lybia indeed did NOT have a hand in the Lockerbie atrocity. If on the other hand, Lybia DID have some part to play in recent terrorist acts, and the gang of proven liars truly KNOW that they did, we can now add to their dossier of lies the proof of monumental hypocrisy. Why mke an example of Hussein on one hand, and welcome Gadaffi , whom they accuse of atrocities every bit as heinous as the Iraqi dictator's, into their circle of trading partners, on the other? Any answers?
