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.

I don't think you can quite tar Dr Jim Squires with that brush. He probably
knows more about the Lockerbie disaster than anyone else, having lost his
daughter in it, and having followed every nuance of the matter from day one.
He is convinced 100% that Megrahi was innocent, and I for one think he's
hardly likely to be wrong.
