The post you are reporting:
I know that Saudi Arabia is a friendly state, and I don't have any intention haranguing the Saudis.
As for the Pan Am plane that got blown up and went down over lockabie, I have heard two different views on TV about who else might have put the bomb there.
Accoroding to people who have researched this, it may have been ordered as a retaliation for something that was done to one or other country apart from Libya.
I won't go any further than this, don't want to trigger off a dispute on it, and haven't got a clue who did it. But The Libyan government always claimed it was not them, and the two alternative possibilities that were brought up indicated two different states which each had to do with an American encounter.
The Libyan government handed over who the British courts claimed were suspects because they wanted to end isolation and embargo.
What I have written here is no State secret, it is probably common knowledge to many, and a German TV station did bring the case up in a documentary, so it is not that I am inventing this.
But again, it is something that is too delicate to bring up here, and actually, very few people in high places in Britain and America (if any at all) have brought it up officially over the past weeks, for the very reason that the whole case is disputed as to who realy did it, ie which secret service of a country that at some point previous to the fact had been at loggerheads with the USA.
But I do protest at Barry's Viking attitude about making a win-win cause out of the Libya situation, not something that would impress the ladies, who I have noted have kept well out of this thread.
Not gentleman-like of you, Barry!
