Is he still in "the programme" being protected from Gaddafi's revenge?<br /><br />I think the Americans had another witness, as credible as Giaka, who supposedly fled Beirut in 1989 and was in "the programme" when he died supposedly committed suicide having supposedly murdered his family. <br /><br />As they say dead men tell no tales.bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338162927520376063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-19740875418566194042012-03-27T13:32:21.734+01:002012-03-27T13:32:21.734+01:00Well now, journalistic licence has gone a little f...Well now, journalistic licence has gone a little far. Tony Gauci was NOT "always going to be the prosecution’s most important asset". Let's not forget Giaka.<br /><br />The indictments weren't issued until after Giaka had come out with his fairy-story about seeing Megrahi and Fhimah at the airport with a Samsonite suitcase. Tony's vague (and prompted) comments that a blurry unrecognisable passport photo resembled the purchaser of the clothes would never have been grounds for a prosecution, without anything else. They needed Giaka.<br /><br />So they got Giaka and they got their indictments and they got their prosecution. And then in 1999 Tony was again induced to pick Megrahi out of a pretty biassed ID parade. And then he was induced to point to him in court. And he changed and fudged his evidence in the witness box to fit better with the prosecuftion case.<br /><br />So when they lost Giaka after he was discovered to have made the whole thing up to please the Americans, Tony turned into the star witness by default.<br /><br />Worth $3+ million? You betcha.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
