Who Released The Lockerbie Bomber?

One has to ask was the Labour Government complicit helping bring about the premature release of the lockerbie bomber?

According to a dossier of previously secret documents which will be published today 7th February 2011 the previous Labour government appear to be implicated in helping obtain the early release of the Lockerbie bomber.

The newspaper the Telegraph has disclosed files obtained by WikiLeaks that show that Labour government ministers secretly provided guidance to Libya as to how to get the release of the bomber.

It is understood that the disclosure of letters,documents,memos and minutes of meetings will show a true picture of the previous Labour government's involvement in releasing Al Megrahi.

Mr Cameron the British Prime Minisiter and Hilary Clinton the American Secretary of State have a jointly issued a statement in which they both "strongly agreed" that the decision to free the bomber had been an error.

Al Megrahi was the only man to be convicted of the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie Scotland was released from jail early on humanitarian grounds in August 2009.

At the time before his release it was claimed that due to him suffering prostrate cancer he had only 3 months to live.

He is still very much alive some 17 months later.

It is understood that the documents include details of how Labour government minister's serving under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were prepared to assist the Libyan regime.

The records being published by the cabinet office are thought to show up the previous Labour government's claims that it took no part in the decision which was the devolved Scottish Executive's resposibility.

During the evening of 21st December 1988 flight Pan Am 103 was blown to pieces in mid air and fell onto the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 259 people who were flying on the plane and 11 people who were on the ground. Many of the passengers were travelling to be with their family's over the holidays.

Britain's Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell has found that Labour did 'all it could' to help the Libyan regime in its appeal to the Scottish government to free Megrahi on humanitarian grounds.

In a statement to Members of Parliament Mr Cameron stated: 'Insufficient consideration was given to the most basic question of all - was it really right for the British government to facilitate an appeal by the Libyans to the Scottish government in the case of an individual who was convicted of murdering 270 people, including 43 British citizens and 190 Americans and 19 other nationalities?

Mr Cameron went on to state 'That for me is the biggest lesson of this entire affair. For my part I repeat, I believe it was profoundly wrong.'

Wrong it clearly was and Alex Salmond the first Minister of the Scottish executive is highly critical of ex Prime Minister Gordon Brown who comes out of all this as a total hypocrite.

There can be no doubt that the previous Labour government totally lost its moral compass and sense of direction all at the same time. The Labour party and Ed Miliband have lost the faith of the voters.
