[This is the heading over an interesting article by Paul Craig Roberts on the VDARE website. The one paragraph that relates to Lockerbie reads as follows:]
For example, consider the case of the Lockerbie bomber. One piece of "evidence" that was used to convict Megrahi was a piece of circuit board from a device that allegedly contained the Semtex that exploded the airliner. None of the people, who have very firm beliefs in Megrahi’s and Libya’s guilt and in the offense of the Scottish authorities in releasing Megrahi on allegedly humanitarian grounds, know that circuit boards of those days have very low combustion temperatures and go up in flames easily. Semtex produces very high temperatures. There would be nothing whatsoever left of a device that contained Semtex. It is obvious to an expert that the piece of circuit board was planted after the event.
The problem: As far as I remember the legal team that represented Mr. Megrahi never raised this issue. There is more of that kind in the indictment that was never discussed in court. F.x. the unburnable Toshiba manual.
