US Lockerbie bomber investigation

[MMI]

The whole thing with going after Libya over lockerbie imho was becuase they couldnt punnish the PLO directly...so they went to the guy who gave them safe harbor as well as political and economic backing and punnished him instead.

Agreed ... but that's hardly justice, not even rough justice. At best it's vengeance. You don't need to have five senior judges to take revenge.

And I don't and perhaps will never know what exact role BP has played in it. The story hasn't seen the light of day since the commission went dark, which tells me the respected governments involved have come to an agreeement, or the aggreement BP worked out has now been ruber stamped by them eaither way.

What governments agree between themselves always has less to do with the good of the people affected than the good of the people who effect the agreement. So keeping things quiet is par for the course.
