Craig Murray also has some interesting speculation on his blog about what the SAS were REALLY doing in Libya. The suggestion is they were there to blow up the big ammo dump:
Very interesting comment here by Ruth which I am elevating to the main body of the post. I recall well the reports of the arms dump explosion 27 killed was the last total I saw. Assuming Ruth is right (and her source on timing is the Guardian) it appears that this team were in that area, and had been there at the relevant time.
'The Guardian quite clearly states that the SAS men had been in the country for two days. Most reports say that they landed in the dark in the early hours of Friday morning. First reports stated they were picked up on Saturday by the rebels. All the reports I have read state that they were found a few kilometres from Benina, Benghazi's airport. Ramjah, the big arms depot supplying the rebels, is a few kilometres from Benina in the very same direction. The depot exploded at 7pm on Friday. There had been no planes in the vicinity.
I am pretty secure in my contention that this was a raid, not a search for a meeting. It appears it may be physically possible that the mission was succesful and the target the arms dump. No more than a possibility, but a great deal more plausible than the Hague explanation.
Now Blair's grest rapprochement with his "Friend" Gadaffi led to all sorts of grubby deals, One distinct possibility is that weapons were sold to Libya which the government doea not want people to know about. The US did not join in Bliar's Libya love-fest. A very large percentage of British manufactured arms include components made under license from the US, with strict controls on to whom they can be sold on. We wouldn't want that kind of stuff turning up in any arms dumps.
Just a hypothesis which fits the limited facts we appear to know so far. But I repeat, a great deal more plausible than Hague's explanation.'
