I certainly do not defend Khadafi... but I was in Libya in 1969 and we had very exotic radio receivers to monitor Mossad broadcasts for the Oil company.

That sort of interference raises questions.

Meanwhile, don't worry about Arabia.. They have another 100 years of oil and have been developing sophisticated Hy-solar applications since 1980.

Envy doesn't make for rational analysis.

 

Like the Lavon Affair????

Who knows for certain.

Pan Am hired a former MOSSAD agent Yuval Aviv to investigate the Lockerbie bombing..

His investigation showed that MOSSAD agents knew about the attack and even tipped off the US and German intelligence agencies. However, he claimed that Megrahi was innocent and it was Tehran behind the bombing.

 

The OP is media nonsense. Alex Salmond has made a statement that no application has been made to extradite al Megrahi and there is categorically no intention whatsoever of any request being made.

Al Megrahi is also said to be gravely ill.

To the poster who was unaware, the majority of victims families here believe al Megrahi is innocent.

To the other poster who asserted al Megrahi was released to avoid hearing his appeal, al Megrahi was required to drop the appeal in order to progress his request for clemency due to terminal illness. It was a legal requirement. It's not possible to request release if there are outstanding legal issues pending.

 

Exactly... Megrahi is comatose and on oxygen... and no one has ever been satisfied that he was the bomber.

 

He may well be dying but he wasn't the man who planted the bomb. He might have had knowledge of it though.

 

Pan Am hired an ex Mossad agent to investigate.. He said it was the Iranians.

 

I think that standing by the law and principles like no double jeopardy is probably a good sign overall, even if it means a terrorist who served an improperly reduced sentence stays free. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced by the courts, and he served the sentence given according to Scottish laws. That's as good as we're going to get. The fact that this is not how the US would have handled his imprisonment is beside the point.

 

If they had hired an ex KGB agent, he would have said it was the Georgians.

 

I agree..

First they blamed the Lockerbie bombing on Syria, then on Islamic Iran and finally on Libya.

In 2007 they reviewed Megrahi's case and found some questionable evidence providing ground for opening new investigations against his conviction and many in Britain also believe in his innocence.

Operation Trojan sure played hell with US relations in the ME.

 

The fact that there are still people in the US trying to go after a sick bedridden old man who already served his time and will die soon enough is rather appalling, actually.

 

Two Congressmen from NY... and one of them is Chuck Schumer.

See Operation Trojan Horse.

I'm not sure I buy this claim. The US is typically very, very good at signals intelligence and information warfare; that they would be fooled by such endeavors seems absurd. Using manufactured 'evidence' to justify actions the country already intended to take makes more sense than being fooled into believing the fake communications were genuine. It seems like a story intended to paint Americans as foolish relative to everyone else, despite apparently having extremely sophisticated signals intelligence capabilities.

Just because the US receives fake communications and uses them as justifications to attack another country doesn't mean the US considered them credible. As demonstrated by Bush's justification for invading Iraq, the US government has no problem knowingly using false information to justify actions they already want to take. If they can fool the Mossad into thinking it's their idea, so much the better. If the only casualty in that was that it made our intelligence services seem incompetent, well, that is an advantage in its own right.

 

Not very good at intel in the ME...The French do a far better job.

Look at Operation Susannah.

I know that governments do sometimes welcome and use false info.. That's generally when they blunder.

 

Not very good at human intelligence, you mean. Intercepting and interpreting signals? That the US is very good at doing.

 

Yeah, as evidenced by the total, breathtaking incompetence which led to the Iraq war.

 

The new evidence would have shown that a fragment of a circuit board and bomb timer, "discovered" in the Scottish countryside and said to have been in Megrahi's suitcase, was a plant, Just like the passport of the 9/11 hijhacker that was found on the sidewalk in pristine condition was. . A forensic scientist found no trace of an explosion on it. The new evidence would demonstrate the impossibility of the bomb beginning its journey in Malta before it was "transferred" through two airports undetected to Flight 103

That is why they sent him back to Lybia. Kadaffi is a hero and when war criminal Ronald Reagan palyed war games off the shores of Tripoli and killed his 6 year old daughter the warmongers were proud just like they are now when NATO is killing the Libyan people for al-Quaeda Reagans muslim army.

Just wait for the aftermath of this genocide.
