Megrahi Release 'Linked To Trade Deal'
The release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al Megrahi was linked to trade deals with Britain, the son of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi has said. "In all commercial contracts, for oil and gas with Britain, (Megrahi) was always on the negotiating table," Seif al-Islam told Libyan television channel Al Mutawassit.
Reader may recall that Lord Mandelson just happened, during his recent sojourn in Corfu, to bump into the son of Libya's ruler...
I wonder what we'll get? Figs? Leather goods? Tents?

They have some of the sweetest crude available. Think about the closest you can get to the complete opposite to tar. By all accounts, it takes very little refining to yield the decent fractions from Libyan Oil.
This stuff is almost clear when they pump it out of the ground.0 -
I bl00dy hope there is something in it for the country because this whole affair is too sordid to contemplate.Kenny_MacAskill wrote:Mr al Megrahi now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power. It is one that no court, in any jurisdiction, in any land, could revoke or overrule. It is terminal, final and irrevocable. He is going to die.

This makes me so angry. I've posted over on DT at length about this but it is fundamentally wrong to see the memories of 270 victims forgotten in the name of trade, no matter how sweet Libya's crude or how natural their gas. As I've posted here before, one of my rel's was a victim of terrorism and its very hard not to think that the government treads all over the families of the victims in order to get what they want.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

On the positive side, now the **** is released, the CIA can send an assasination squad and kill him in a couple of months when the story cools down.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

PErsonally, letting the man die in a nation that doesnt have regular access to cutting technology cancer therapy might be penitance enough.
I hope that man dies a slow, painful lingering death.0
