NEWSWEEK: A Libyan official was convicted for the bombing of Pan Am 103. In order for UN sanctions to be lifted, Libya must take responsibility for the bombing. Do you accept responsibilty?

Kaddafi: The whole world bears witness to this man's innocence. It was not possible for the court to prove that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi put the bomb in the baggage.

You agreed to have the two Libyan suspects tried in a Scottish court in the Netherlands. One was aquitted; one convicted. Don't you accept the court's finding?

The court came to its finding without evidence.

Do you believe that Saudi Arabia is doing all it can to fight terrorism?
Saudi Arabia is a fundamentalist state itself.



heeeellllllloooooooooooo??!!!!

I have noticed the Lamers in the Media are treating Kaddafi like they treat Castro.

Libya these days is concerned with terrorizing other African countries like Chad, and Kaddafi figures that as long as he doesn't piss off the US again, he'll have "carte blanche."

'I supported liberation--not terrorist movements; I support [Nelson] Mandela and Sam Nujoma'

And Mandela loves you too.

Jimmay! has a special place in his heart for you too.

If this is an attempt to show that Ghadhaffi has reformed, it fails. He's the same old snake, just waiting in the grass for his next opportunity to bite. He's always got some game going on somewhere.

What advice do you have for Saddam?

He opened his country for full inspections. What more can he do? Now it is a fight to the finish. He must stand against the wall and fight.

If he believes Saddam is 'cooperating', I find myself wondering what his level of 'cooperation' has been.

There was a companion article that goes to great lengths to devalue Reagan's attack on Tripoli as the prime reason for his low profile; it actually submits that the United Nations is the reason for this.

The article ends with an admonishment: But as the war on terror continues, there is a central lesson to be remembered from the bloody record after 1986. It's the one taught to doctors by Hippocrates: First, do no harm..

They put forth the proposition that Reagan's actions increased terror, but the United Nations of course saved the day. The last statement of the article is a thinly veiled pitch not to go to war against Saddam.

Interesting read - thank you.

Sure thing lodwick. It doesn't seem to me that he has changed much, if at all.

Same 'Zionists control America', 'I wasn't a terrorist but a liberator', 'America is the real threat', and of course, his hopes for the demise of Israel.

I would watch this guy closely. Regardless of the happy face put on by the liberal media.
