The G.W. Bush Administration killed scores of INNOCENT Iraqis and scores of INNOCENT Afghans and no one fron them went to one minute to jail . It is just like a jungle whereas the strong eats the weak .sad .


like that has anything at all to do with this thread

Yes of course .
When you are strong you get away with everything .
When you are weak anyone shites on you .


so, the thread is about the lockerbie bomber (Libyan) being released from prison for humanitarian reasons and the pro's and con's of that

what does the bush bashing rant have to do with that?

or is it just an excuse to hijack the thread and make about you instead?

I am NOT convinced that the Libyan intelligence services were behind Lockerbie tragedy and from there you get my points .

Gaddafi admitted to complicity in the bombings of both the disco and Pan Am 103.

He had to own up to his past in order to have sanctions lifted.

On 16 August 2003 Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council.

Ronald Reagan attacked Libya in the 80's .One of Gaddafi's daughters was killed in the raid . If the US and NATO had sufficient proof that Libya was behind Lockerbie, I think they would not have stopped at jailing of intelligent officer .Was Reagan's attack on Libya justified ?. NO .


Who cares, the attacks on Libya put them in their place, and they have generally behaved since.


Exactly! If we insist on demonizing leaders and nations even after they undergo significant reforms, it takes away some of the incentive for others to reform.

(Sorry about the offtopic )

My inner concern is that Qaddafi might have agreed to sign some deals just to have the sanctions lifted since his aviation and many other things were completely paralysed . Libya is a tiny country compared to the US and the EU . I have noticed that politics is full of games and deception to say the least .

Libya was one of the leading sponsors of global terrorism

*Abu Nidal and the Achille Lauro. where an American jew in a wheelchair was pushed over the side to drown

*Rome and Vienna airport massacres in 1985

*The Berlin nightclub bombing in 1985 (East German sources gave evidence that it was a direct attack from Libyan intelligence)

*The Lockerbie bombing directly attributed to Libyan intelligence


Khadafy was not some innocent bystander. Reagan said enough is enough and put a stop to it



You forgot a delibrate attempt by Libyan combat jets to agressively intercept an american naval patrol in the mediterreen sea.

(i.e with missle fire).

Yep. He's as dirty as they come. At least it scared it him enough to lay low.

Do you remember Iraq bombing Israel before we went in. I don't think we were going to sit back and keep letting that happen.

how anyone can possibly believe that abdelbaset ali mohmed al-megrahi is guilty of the lockerbie 'disaster'.
the evidence against him was flawed right from the start. all the so called experts in here giving there 2cents worth dont have a clue what they are speaking about. i was 16 when i lost my mother in 1988 on pan-am flight 103. al-megrahi was used as a scapegoat by both the british and libyan governmets.

I don't think anyone here claims to be an expert. I doubt any of us has seen the evidence. But I can still have an opinion based on the information I do have. 'Daffy' (I don't think there is a correct spelling) admitted his country's involvement and the information I have seen implicates him. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the guy in prison is a 'fall guy'. Happens all the time. But I do think we were justified in giving him something to worry about. It appears to have worked.

i have no doubts what-so-ever that colonel gadaffi and his fellow idiots were responsible for the lockerbie masacre, but to blame all of what happened on to one man is totally ridiculous.

and for all the people from the uk in here, shame on you. do any of you remember the name gerry conlon??? vilified in the british press as an animal, mass murderer, irish monster etc etc. and we all believed the storys we read. how many years did he spend in our prisons before it was proved beyond doubt he was innocent? he was found guilty only because he was an irishman in the wrong place at the wrong time.
ah, thats british 'justice for you'!!!
