Lockerbie bomber: Lord Mandelson faces new questions over Libya links
Lord Mandelson faced fresh questions over his links to Libya last night following the decision to free the Lockerbie bomber.

Nicely put!
Had planned to visit Scottland next year, but I will boycott for the rest of my life over this.
I’ll bet that neither Khadafi nor Britain would have acted as they did if Reagan were still President.
