Lockerbie appeal. Lack of media interest.

[Peter Lemkin]

In light of developments it is instructive to read back over this thread.

The State has indeed ensured that there will be no raking over the existing evidence, nor presentation and scrutiny of substantial and damning new evidence by Megrahi's defence team.

The press is full of sanctimonious outrage at his welcome back in Tripoli; there are copious reports of the 'outrage' of the US families of the victims (if there's one thing our MSM excels at, it is sanctimonious outrage); also of Hilary Clinton being snubbed by Alex Salmond (SNP First Minister) whom she had urged (for public consumption) to refuse Megrahi's release/transfer.

Meanwhile the substantive issue of Megrahi's actual guilt beyond reasonable doubt which any fair minded review of the detail is forced to conclude as unsustainable, is buried.

The Spooks must be breathing a sigh of relief, whilst celebrating their cleverness and the gullibility of the general public once again

He was tossed-up as Patsy-In-Chief to hide the real deals/players behind the bombing - and likely inter-connected ones. And you're right, somehow they made sure there would be no appeal or post-mortem investigation. Deep Black Secrets are to be kept.....Secret!....:eviltongue:

The only small glimmer of hope for a peek into this is al Megrahi's claim that he will shortly provide evidence of his innocence. If his evidence also sheds light on the real players, I think it won't be the cancer that kills him....
