Libya Comes in From the Cold

This is the title of a lengthy and thoughtful article by Joseph Kirschke on the Worldpress website about relations between the United States and Libya. Considerable attention is paid to the continuing fallout from Lockerbie and Pan Am 103. The article is, however, marred by its blithely ignoring the SCCRC's reference back to the Appeal Court of Megrahi's conviction on the ground that it may have constituted a miscarriage of justice; and, consequently, by its complete failure to consider what the implications for US-Libyan relations would be if Megrahi's conviction were to be quashed and Libya's responsibility for the atrocity negated.
