My Comment: This explains why PM Brown is in Afghanistan today. He wanted to get away from the uproar that the Lockerbie case is now proving to be for both him and for his government.
As I had mentioned at the beginning of this week, I trust the Libyan Government more than the U.K. Government on this case. The lies and disinformation that has come from London is now finally blowing up in their face (as predicted).
They Labor Government still has a year in their term. My concern is that they can cause even more harm and damage in the upcoming year than all the other years put together. At the rate that this Labor Government is going .... we have probably seen nothing yet.
