"Suckers."

UK Families Flight 103, the relatives' campaign group, will use human rights laws in a bid to uncover the truth about the terrorist attack, which claimed 270 lives in December 1988.
The group has hired Gareth Peirce, the prominent human rights solicitor better known for her work representing terror suspects, to devise a legal strategy to secure the inquiry for which families have long campaigned.
It is the first time the families have formally hired lawyers to pursue an inquiry.
The development comes after Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, rejected the group's latest demands for an independent review of the bombing. He informed them of his decision in a letter, dated Christmas Eve, which was received by the relatives last week.
The families were spurred into renewed demands for an inquiry by the Scottish Government's decision to release... Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the bombing.
Megrahi, 57, returned to Libya in August 2009 after doctors reported that he had terminal prostate cancer and had less than three months to live.
The former Libyan intelligence officer, who abandoned plans for a new appeal so he could be freed, is still alive.

I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I’ve wondered a about a potential connection between Pan Am 103 and the Edwin Wilson case.

Is that Michael Jackson?
I swear Kadafi looks like he’s stoned out of his gourd. Which would explain a great deal.
