That would be *some* of the families. In fact a rather small
minority.

I never realised that you were such a friend of the Establishment,
who believed every word that emanated from it.

I find it easier to believe that a group of judges weighed up the
evidence and based a conviction on that than there being an almighty
international conspiracy of silence with so called "experts" popping
up out of the woodwork after the fact to make a name for themselves.

Until proven otherwise I'm going to continue to mentally pigeonhole
the megrahi-is-innocent crowd with the same kind of loons who think
Kennedy was assasinated by the CIA, David Kelly was done in by MI5
and that the moon landings were a hoax. All these axe grinding groups
have apparent "evidence" to back up their claims until you look at it
closely and realise what a load of confused circumstantial nonsense
it really is.

Yes, fully agreed about all those cases, and many other similar ones
(eg, 911 was all a US/Israeli setup), but Lockerbie is different. Just
do some research.

It was certainly a terrorist attack, just done by a different bunch of
terrorists to those set up for it in the juryless kangaroo court in a
former US airbase. And don't suggest that British justice always
convicts the right people for terrorist attacks -- all too often, the
wrong ones ended up in jail. Note that it's not just a bunch of
certified fruitcakes who question this dodgy conviction. For example,
