Well what a heroes welcome he received came as no surprise really, but what did what the waving of the saltite flags.
The times reported on an inflight interview that he will clear his name before he dies.
I think theres alot more to run on this whole episode with all the whealing and dealing to renew major oil contract with Libya that were put on hold until the "decision" to release him.
my heart goes out to the relatives of the people who died on the plane to watch this scumbag with a glorified welcome home must be the greatest insult & betrayal to the memory of their lost ones....
I think you mean in the western public eye or probably more specifically the American public eye it is viewed as non intentional however I would imagine that in the Islamic public eye the shooting down of the Iranian passenger plane would be viewed as intentional as Lockerbie. The difference being one side gets medals the other side gets prison.
Its the Crips and the Bloods all over again
In fairness most libyans seem to believe this guy is innoccent welcoming him home is not neccessarily condoning Lockerbie no more than welcoming home the Birmingham 6 would be condoning the Birmingham pub bombings. Whilst most Irish people always believed in the innoccence of those 6 men many in Britain at the time thought they had got off on a legal technicality. And the birmingham 6 would have been welcomed home in Ireland no matter what the circumstances of their release.
Interesting to see some of the British relatives of victims taking a completely different line from the American relatives. The British relatives welcoming the release and some stating that they believe the guy is innoccent anyway.
