He just thinks they enlisted Libyan help after they were busted by Operation Autumn Leaves. Mind you, Kenny thinks a lot of things that demonstrably aren't so.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206952819245786811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-28242950930948926422016-09-15T14:31:33.771+01:002016-09-15T14:31:33.771+01:00I don't think any of us has any idea who bough...I don't think any of us has any idea who bought these clothes. I think it was probably somebody we've never heard of and never will hear of. Also, bear in mind that if Tony was anywhere close to right on the man's age, he would be in his late seventies by now. Maybe not even alive.<br /><br />And assertions that the CIA was involved in setting up the bombing will get you denounced as a mad conspiracy theorist. (I keep an open mind but I certainly haven't seen anything resembling a smoking gun on that one.)<br /><br />Also, as a point of information, nobody at all was warned against travelling on that particular plane. The Helsinki warning, and others, didn't specify an actual day or flight. In fact, 21st December was a couple of days outside the window indicated in the Helsinki warning for when the bombing was supposed to happen.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206952819245786811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-26555689829768462062016-09-14T18:04:30.547+01:002016-09-14T18:04:30.547+01:00This scenario would explain the Helsinki warning a...This scenario would explain the Helsinki warning and the the fact that US embassy staff and others were warned against travelling on that plane. this fits with the suitcase containing the bomb being put on at Heathrow when the breakin was reported which was more sensible and not Malta bearing in mind Malta had records that no unaccompanied suitcases went on its plane.They have to block the appeal and keep megrahi guilty as charged.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941540274712417938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-72116191052822391192016-09-14T17:08:10.879+01:002016-09-14T17:08:10.879+01:00Well said Rolfe.I couldn't agree more.

He did his own investigation and interview of Gaucci and was in no doubt that Giaka was actually the one who bought the clothes and then passed them over to the CIA. Now i can see why Muller made sure that the CIA's involvment in Lockerbie was kept out of the investigation. The real target was the CIA and DIA whistleblowers who were returning to the US to blow the whistle. No way can they allow a successful appeal by Megrahi's son Khalid and i have no doubt that all the relevant parties will have been informed of this and what is expected of them.
