Lockerbie appeal. Lack of media interest.

New questions about the extent of the Government’s involvement in the trade deals that led to the release of the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, were raised last night with the revelation that an MI6 agent flew to Libya with former BP boss Lord Browne for two cloak-and-dagger meetings with Colonel Gaddafi. .... etc

Magda - all

The papers are chock full of stuff along these lines over here at the moment. What jumps out at me though is what is NOT being said.

Everyone is getting their knicks in a twist over government complicity in a deal to free a wicked mass murderer in exchange for lucrative commercial contracts. I have no doubt about the significance of those prospective contracts but what is going completely unremarked is the certainty that Megrahi would NOT be found guilty were the case to be retried with the inclusion of new evidence his defence team have put in the public domain let alone if, in addition, the authorities were to release other information demanded by them.

The effect right now is for the government to be discredited over an outrageous decision. The fact that Mandelson is a dyed-in-the-wool MI6 man points to deep CIA involvement in what IS being said, with all the opposition parties jumping on the bandwagon and the really important issue being totally ignored. Seems to me that there is a major diversionary operation going on here.
