This is the headline over another article by Hugh Miles, this time on The Cutting Edge website. It reads in part:
'Since the British Crown never had much of a case against Megrahi, it was no surprise when the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) found prima facie evidence in June 2007 that Megrahi had suffered a miscarriage of justice and recommended that he be granted a second appeal.
'For 11 years, while legal proceedings were pending and throughout the trial, the British Government argued that a public inquiry into Lockerbie was not appropriate as it would prejudice legal proceedings. After the conviction, it switched tack, arguing instead that no public inquiry was necessary. But if the conviction were overturned, there would no longer be a reason to hold back. For Megrahi, this cannot come soon enough. In September, he was diagnosed with advanced terminal prostate cancer.
'The British Government is preparing for Megrahi to be transferred to Libya for the rest of his sentence. This would eliminate the risk of an acquittal and lessen the chance of a subsequent inquiry. Applications for a transfer cannot be submitted while an appeal is pending, which for the Government raises the convenient prospect that Megrahi will abandon his appeal so he can die at home. But letting Megrahi die a condemned man reduces the chance of Scottish prosecutors, the police, various British intelligence services plus many American and other foreign bodies being asked a lot of difficult questions. In November 2008, a general agreement on the exchange of prisoners was signed between Libya and Britain paving the way for such a transfer. The agreement will be ratified in January 2009.
'"The Crown and the prosecution are using every delaying tactic in the book to close off every route available to Megrahi except prisoner transfer, as this means he has to abandon his appeal," commented Professor Robert Black Q.C., the Scottish lawyer who was the architect of the original trial who feels partly responsible for the miscarriage that occurred. "It is an absolute disgrace. It was June 27, 2007 when the SCCRC released its report and sent its case back to the criminal appeal court, and here we are 18 months later and the Crown has still not handed over all of the material that the law requires it to hand over and it is still making every objection conceivable."'

For the New Year 2009, the following "Lockerbie ballad":
ReplyDeleteWhich of the Scottish Politician or the Lord Advocate it dares, to dive into the Scottish "Lockerbie swamp" 2009?
It is a moral order of the world to clear up the "Lockerbie swamp" for freedom of the official Mr Abdelbaset: Al Megrahi and the honour of Libya!
MEBO EXAMINATION. public sins 1996, Important:
From the 124 passengers at Frankfurt who checked in for flight PA-103/A, only 3 passenger had each 3 luggage items, according to the passenger list C140V. But 4 times, each 3 luggage items were loaded on PA-103/A at Frankfurt!
MEBO cover-up:
Passenger no.143, T. Walker, actually traveled with his 3 luggage items (3M) with the same flight LH-631 from Kuwait to Frankfurt. Around 15:57 clock at the transit checking counter in Frankfurt airport, Mr. Walker checked in with his 3 luggage items as tray No. B-7056, B-9531, B-11366.
Passenger no. 99, K. Noonan had 3 luggage items (3 M): tray No. B-3546, B-10773, B-10467. These luggage items were forwarded over the inter-line counter No. 203-V3;
Passenger no. 152, J. Waido checked in 3 luggage items (3 M) at the Head Checking Counter in Frankfurt: Tray No. B-3593, B-4120, B-11511.
Thus it is absolutely clear that the additional 3 inter-line luggage items (trays no. B-4809, B-6001, B-7418 coded over the inter-line counter HM-3) from flight LH-631 arrival from Kuwait and then transfered to flight PA-103/A don't belong to passenger T. Walker as the BKA supposed falsely! An irresponsible mistake due to the BKA's sloppy investigations.
RESULT: On the feeder flight PA-103/A from Frankfurt to London-Heathrow not one Samsonite suitcase - the alleged bomb suitcase, from AirMalta, flight KM-180 to PanAm flight PA-103/A - was loaded, but 3 unknown and unaccompanied luggage items from Lufthansa, flight LH-631 from Kuwait, ex tray no. B-4809, B-6001, B-7418!
It is not clear up today whether this mysterious baggage items were loaded in London-Heathrow on the mainflight, PA-103 to NewYork (JFK). Commissioner Hans Jürgen Fuhl (Crown Witness no. 566) from the German Federal Criminal Investigations Bureau (BKA) testified at Camp van Zeist: "in Heathrow documents were destroyed"…
Summary of the original testimony of Commissioner Hans Jürgen Fuhl from BKA (Crown Witness 566):
Other organisations who were investigating the bombing had taken some of the documentation before the BKA could get their hands on it. Fuhl also testified that PanAm had apparently instructed staff at Heathrow to destroy documentation. (Ref. Doc.1 Chapter 13 page 38)
Totally 3 luggage items (1+2) planned for that far transport, were never loaded onto PanAm Main flight PA-103 to New York !:
One (1) of two unaccompanied Samsonite suit-case with rush tags, of PanAm copilot John Hubbard, was never loaded onto PA-103. The second suit-case was found in Lockerbie.
2 inter-line luggage items of Daniel O'Connor (A State department official) were never loaded onto PA-103.
All 3 bags were found after the atrack on PA-103 into the baggage room at airport Heathrow...
Questions: How could the load list of the Boing 747, PA-103 be correct, if 3 luggage items were missing?
Were the 3 luggage items in Heathrow exchanged with the mysterious 3 luggage items from flight LH-631/PA-103/A from Kuwait to Frankfurt to Heathrow, with the 3 luggage items of Daniel O'Connor (2M) and John Hubbard (1M)?
Had therefore in Heathrow the documents of the PanAm-103 to be destroyed?
There must be good reasons that at the court in Kamp van Zeist and until now the Scottish Justice at Edinburgh and the Scottish media these decisive detail facts hold back !
Happy New Year
