Lockerbie

So, it looks as if the man in prison for the Lockerbie bombing might not have done it after all. You don’t say! The Lockerbie bombing was orchestrated, not by Libya, but by Syria. However, following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, we needed Syria on side. So we blamed Libya instead.

Then our self-inflicted dependence on any old despot’s oil, for want of the real nuclear deterrent that is civil nuclear power, eventually compelled us to suck up to Gadaffi. We couldn’t admit that we’d made up the whole thing about him and Lockerbie. So we connived with him to put an innocent man behind bars, and our bars at that.

But now he’s going to get justice, it seems. In which case, will anyone else...?
