So, is it time to forment a new rebellion against the Lybian Rebels? You know, for not toeing the line of enraged western nations, who no longer follow their own laws against double jeopardy?
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer on Monday called for al-Megrahi to be returned to prison.
Margot , Most scots dont care a dam. In fact scottish pensioners - struggleing to keep warm in winter objected to Megrahi having being well fed and housed in a cozy warm cell throughout harsh scottish winters. THey're well rid of him. I think those US senators will soon change their tune if they had to pay for keeping him in gaol from their own pockets. ....
This just in: Wow, it appears that the Lockerbie bomber is more sick than previously thought. The way people would talk, I'd think al-Megrahi was faking illness and having picnics and happiness every day. I'm also amazed that the news media could track down this man in a war zone, but it took the USA a decade to find Bin Laden. Is it time to turn over our intelligent service to the media?
Read this. The main-stream media don't report this stuff: http://www.newstatesman.com/international-politics/2009/09/pilger-megrahi-justice
Well done Snake...I'm familiar with Pilger's piece and was just about to post it myself. It is clear that he was framed.
There isn't a single American who will ever believe he was framed. For my way of thinking (and I haven't read the article you posted, only the headline) he was a scapegoat handed up by Gaddafi because the latter had already disposed of those responsible for the downing of the aircraft but was placed in a position where he had to do something and he was the sacrificial lamb.
Absolutely. I followed Private Eye's late contributor Paul Foot's reporting on the case and it is (*)(*)(*)(*)ing in the extreme. 'Stitch-up' is putting it mildly; there is much political chicanery going on that is too complex for the Daily Mail reader (or embarrassing to the political players), and which only sees the light of day in responsible outlets like the 'Eye'.
I know. I urge you to seek out 'Private Eye's meticulous investigation of this travesty of justice. It's a real 'eye' opener.
Did you know that until I started this thread I had no idea that there was a conspiracy theory about the Lockerbie bomber not being guilty? I was just speaking my mind in reaction to the news stories I posted.
The problem is that this dying man pretty certainly didn't do it, which is why they released him to avoid the appeal.
Oh yes-nearly 600 pages of embarrassing evidence just waiting... There has been a lot of very unsavoury, high-level chicanery surrounding this case. If only Americans knew...or cared.

About New Statesman Foundation The New Statesman was created in 1913 with the aim of permeating the educated and influential classes with socialist ideas. Its founders were Sidney and Beatrice Webb (later Lord and Lady Passfield), along with Bernard Shaw, and a small but influential group of Fabians. The Webbs' previous publication, The Crusade, had existed to gain support for the Minority Report of the Royal Commission on the Poor Law, and for Beatrice Webb's National Committee for the Prevention of Destitution. However, it had died after less than two years, when it became obvious that no government would swallow the Minority Report whole, with all its socialist implications. The New Statesman was created to fill the gap. http://www.newstatesman.com/page/about That explains quite a bit. The Fabian Society is a British socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary, means. It is best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning late in the 19th century and continuing up to World War I. The society laid many of the foundations of the Labour Party and subsequently affected the policies of states emerging from the decolonisation of the British Empire, especially India. Today, the society functions primarily as a think tank and is one of 15 socialist societies affiliated with the Labour Party. Similar societies exist in Australia (the Australian Fabian Society), Canada (the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation and in the past the League for Social Reconstruction) and in New Zealand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_Society Free people have to know who the enemy of their liberty is. _ _
Normally I'm not a proponent of conspiracy theories but the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident, possibly USS Liberty and this case are the exceptions to the rule.
'Free people'? You're free to do what your government tells you to do. Try going somewhere without any money then tell me how free you are. Try not paying your taxes then tell me how free you are-from your jail cell.
Beevee.. the lockerbie bomber is comatose and on oxygen.. He's dying. Lots of people wonder about Lockerbie because from the late 1960s the Mossad was very active in Libya.. broadcasting false information and alternately propaganda from INSIDE Libya. American oil execs were well aware of it and monitoring those broadcasts... as were the French. That's NOT proof, but it does raise questions. Khadafi might have accepted blame for political reasons. Remember the booze bombings in Arabia in late 2000? It was British citizens blowing up other Brits ... and they got caught.. It wasn't a bootlegging turf war.. It was a false flag operation to implicate Palestinians living in the Kingdom that went wrong.
Exactly: George Bernard Shaw is definitely not an enemy of my liberty. George Walker Bush on the other hand would have worried me with his passing of the Patriot Act etc.. I can't help wondering why Americans so lightly gave up there freedoms and allowed this man a second term. All in all: Great credentials for "The New Statesmen"!
The Lockerbie bomber was in fact a Libyan secret services operative. At the time of the bombing Qadaffi had already sponsored a long list of terrorist groups and terrorist outrages and had numerous Libyan exiles living abroad murdered. Tell the British that Qadaffi's connection to the IRA in the 1970s and 1980s was nothing to get excited about. As for Saudi Arabia, the country is a shining example of how enough oil money can serve to paper over the numerous cracks of a rather dysfunctional and backward society. I look forward to the day, unfortunately still a couple of decades away, when the oil cushion will no longer shield Arabia and its pathetic extended royal family from the consequences of their accumulated follies. So unless Margot has evidence Mossad or MI6 was behind the Lockerbie outrage, I will remain outraged at the delusional ex-Colonel who actually invaded another country during his tenure in power (Chad) and tried to put himself at the head of every group Libya was a member of (amazing how that didn't work out, isn't it?). So goodbye to the guy who had hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenues and failed to develop his nation properly, and good riddance!
