Correct me if I'm wrong (my historical knowledge, like other things, is shit) But haven't the Yanks been supporting the IRA for the last XX years or so? And initially the IRA were (alledgely) initially funded/supported by Gaddafi amongst others

"Genius bit of maneuvering"
it's a bit of a joke because it is so transparent
Whitehall have been trying to distance themselves from the issue - i.e. "it's scotland's problem". At the same time they have been building stronger trade/diplomatic relations with Libya.
Then after a few days of silence gordon brown comes out and says he is "repulsed" by the welcome that al-Megrahi received. He is repulsed by the welcome but has nothing to say on the release?
why nothing to say on the release?
What pisses me off about this is the explicit assumption that the people of Libya are somehow celebrating the death of a bunch of americans, indians, canadians etc rather than the fact that they are ceelbrating the return of one of their countrymen that they believe was innocent and had suffered a miscarriage of justice?
some people are asking why they didn't wait for the appeal prcess to happen. it was either they thought he would be dead anyway or else there was some fear that the whole case would be undermined and this would lead to widespread revulsion and lead to a greater hatred of the UK and possibly more attacks.
politics is funny sometimes

The IRA were established around 1913 - three years before the 1916 rising. The 1916 rising is a massive event in Irish contemporary history... http://www.nli.ie/1916/1916_main…Gaddafi came on the scene in the 1970's when he supplied some arms to the IRA because he sympathised with their campaign against british occupation of Ireland.
He was pissed off at the british for helping the US bomb Libya. One particular attack by the US killed Gaddafi's own adopted daughter and loads of civilians...

With the thousands of american tourists that are in edinburgh through august for the festival-time, yup it really looks like this website is a roaring success, eh?
Maybe we should have kept the guy here in Scotland eh, and told him that we have harmed his kids or raped his mother just like the US soldiers were doing to detainees. A story that has hit the news here today.
