September 5, 2009

Trust governments to safeguard world's nuclear power use? Today a perfect example of how governments do NOT do the moral and "right" thing in the murky world of geopolitics, where decisions are made for so many, many reasons, that often don't seem to have any logic or morality?!

British government officials admit releasing Lockerbie bomber for oil favours from terrorist-supporter, Libya!

A senior British minister says trade and oil deals with Libya played a "very big part" in Britain's Minister of Justice Jack Straw admits oil played "big part" in Britain's decision to include the Lockerbie bomber, Abel Baset al-Megrahi, in a prisoner transfer agreement between the two countries.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said there was "no cover-up, no double-dealing, no deal on oil" linked to Megrahi's early release last month from a Scottish prison.

Megrahi was the only man convicted in the 1988 bombing of a U.S. airliner over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. The bombing killed 270 people.

Straw acknowledged to The Daily Telegraph that British trade interests were a crucial factor in the 2007 prisoner transfer negotiations with Libya, which he called a "rogue state" that "we wanted to bring back into the fold." A few weeks later, in January 2008, Libya ratified a $900 million oil deal with BP.
