The Lockerbie bomber I know

Two years ago Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was controversially released on the grounds he was about to die. But this shadowy figure has survived to become a pawn in the Libyan conflict. John Ashton, who has long believed in his innocence, describes the man behind the myth

It's an anniversary that the Scottish justice minister, Kenny MacAskill, will have long dreaded. Two years ago tomorrow MacAskill granted Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, AKA "the Lockerbie bomber", compassionate release from the life sentence he was serving for the murder of the 270 victims of the 1988 bombing. MacAskill had been advised that terminal cancer was likely to end the Libyan's life within the following three months: he had, in short, been "sent home to die". As Megrahi's recent appearance at a pro-Gaddafi rally reminded us, he has not stuck to the script. The anniversary presents sections of the media with another opportunity to splutter its outrage at MacAskill's decision, and to resurrect the theory that it was driven by backroom deals rather than medical evidence. More seriously, for many of the relatives of the Lockerbie dead it adds an appalling insult to their already grievous injury. But Megrahi's survival, and the Lockerbie case in general, now has far wider significance. For western governments struggling to justify why Libya should be singled out for enforced regime change, the issue has become a godsend. In recent weeks both Barack Obama and William Hague have tried to boost wilting public support for the war by highlighting Gaddafi's responsibility for the 1988 attack. Libya's government-in-waiting, the National Transitional Council, has weighed in too. Its leader, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, claimed in February that Gaddafi personally ordered the bombing, and its London PR company, Bell-Pottinger, followed up Hague's comments by circulating a claim by a leading cancer specialist that MacAskill's decision was based on flawed medical advice. There is, though, another view that is shared by many who have scrutinised the Lockerbie case. They hold that the true scandal was not Megrahi's release, but his 2001 conviction. The Justice for Megrahi campaign, founded in 2008, counts among its signatories Dr Jim Swire and Rev John Mosey, each of whom lost a daughter in the bombing, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the head of the Catholic Church in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O'Brien. Another signatory, Scottish QC Ian Hamilton, last year blogged: "I don't think there's a lawyer in Scotland who now believes Mr Megrahi was justly convicted." I go further than those lawyers: I am as certain as I can be that Megrahi is innocent. For three years until his return to Libya I worked as a researcher alongside his legal team and since then have been writing a book with him. I have read all his case files and have visited him many times, both in prison and in Tripoli. I'm one of a handful of people familiar with both the man and the evidence that convicted him. It requires a book to explain all the flaws in that evidence. In 2007 the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) granted Megrahi an appeal, having identified six possible grounds for overturning the conviction. Among these, remarkably, was that the original judgment, delivered by three Scottish judges at a specially constructed court in the Netherlands, was unreasonable. Four of the other grounds concerned the Crown's most important witness, a Maltese shopkeeper called Tony Gauci, in whose shop Megrahi allegedly bought the clothes that ended up in the same suitcase as the bomb. In 1991 he picked out Megrahi from a lineup of photos. The SCCRC discovered that before doing so he had expressed an interest in receiving a reward, and that after Megrahi's conviction the Scottish police secretly approached the US Department of Justice to secure a $2m payment. Gauci's evidence was, in any case, highly unreliable. His descriptions of the clothes purchaser all suggested the man was around 50 years old, 6ft tall and with dark skin, whereas Megrahi was 36, is 5ft 8in and has light skin. There is also a wealth of circumstantial evidence that suggests Lockerbie was the work of Iranian proxies, rather than Libya. (Although the Libyan government formally accepted responsibility for Lockerbie in 2004, it made clear that it was doing so only to rid the country of UN sanctions.) The final reason for my near certaintly about Megrahi is my knowledge of the man himself. Who, then, is he if not the cartoon terrorist of contemporary mythology? Few have any idea: he opted not to give evidence at trial, and has barely spoken to the media. He was born in Tripoli in 1952, into poverty that was typical of the times in Libya. One of eight siblings, his family shared a house with two others, and his mother supplemented his father's customs officer's income by sewing for neighbours. As a young child he was plagued by chest problems, for which he received daily vitamin supplements at his Unesco-administered school. His main passion was football, which continues to absorb him. After finishing school in 1970, he briefly trained as a marine engineer at Rumney Technical College in Cardiff, hoping to become a ship's captain or navigator. When his eyesight proved too poor, he dropped out and returned to Tripoli, where he trained as a flight dispatcher for the state-owned Libyan Arab Airlines (LAA). Having completed his training and gained his dispatcher's licence in the US, he was gradually promoted to head of operations at Tripoli airport. Keen to improve his education, he studied geography at the University of Benghazi. He came top in his year and was invited to join the teaching staff on the promise that he could study for a master's degree in climatology in the US. When the promise proved hollow, he opted to boost his salary by returning to LAA. In 1986 he became a partner in a small company called ABH and was temporarily appointed LAA's head of airline security. The following year he became part-time coordinator of the Libyan Centre for Strategic Studies. His Scottish prosecutors aimed to prove that these roles were cover for his activities as a senior agent for the Libyan intelligence service, the JSO. Megrahi maintains that his only involvement with the JSO came during his 12-month tenure as head of airline security when he was seconded to the organisation to oversee the training of some of its personnel for security positions within the airline. There is ample documentary evidence to support his claim that ABH was a legitimate trading company whose main business was the purchase of spares for LAA aircraft, often in breach of US sanctions. He admits that he sometimes travelled on a false passport, but insists that it was issued to give him cover for his sanctions-busting activities; unlike his true passport, it did not betray his airline background. Megrahi says that it came as a complete surprise when, in November 1991, he and his former LAA colleague Lamin Fhimah were charged with the bombing (Fhimah was found not guilty). Megrahi also maintains that it was their decision to stand trial and that they were not ordered to by their government. He was repeatedly warned that he was unlikely to receive a fair trial, but believed he would be acquitted. During his decade in prison his good manners and cooperative behaviour earned him the respect of the officers. He bonded with them through football, joining in their three-a-side matches at HMP Barlinnie and bantering about Glasgow's Old Firm rivalry. Perversely, he supported Rangers, but his favourite player was Celtic's Henrik Larsson. He was cheered by visits from well-known figures, most notably Nelson Mandela, and by hundreds of letters of support. In 2005 he was transferred to a low-security wing of HMP Gateside in Greenock, where he was placed among long-term prisoners nearing the end of their sentences. He was soon accepted by both inmates and officers, one of whom volunteered to me: "We all know he didn't do it." I would visit him there in one of the tiny rooms set aside for legal visits. He always arrived with a bundle of papers and would then take me through fine points of evidential detail. He was demanding, but friendly and humorous. He was sustained by the support of his family and by regular prayer; like most Libyans of his generation he is a devout Muslim. He abhors violent extremism and was reduced to tears by the 9/11 attacks. We were optimistic that his appeal would succeed, but its progress was glacial. In autumn 2008, with the first hearing still six months away, he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He had always dreamed of clearing his name and returning to his family, but eventually felt compelled to choose between the two. Although the compassionate release decision carried no legal preconditions, he knew that abandoning the appeal would smooth the process. No longer able to make his case in court, he asked me to write his story so he could make it to the public. Writing the book required numerous visits to Tripoli, where he received me warmly in the home he shares with his wife and four sons in a middle-class suburb. His illness limited our sessions to a couple of hours. He would check every word I'd written for accuracy and was insistent that I include the case for both sides and not shy away from awkward facts. He repeatedly told me: "I understand that people will judge me with their hearts, but I ask them to please also judge me with their heads." His reception, on his return to Tripoli, was portrayed as a triumphant official welcome, but, as a WikiLeaks cable revealed, the Libyan authorities limited the crowd to 200, with thousands of supporters and the international media kept away. A few months later the Sunday Times reported that, at the time he was convicted, he had $1.8m in a Swiss bank account. In fact the account had been dormant since 1993, when it had a balance of $23,000. This year the same paper reported a claim by NTC leader Abdel-Jalil that Megrahi had blackmailed Gaddafi to secure his release from prison "by threatening to expose the dictator's role" in the bombing. Had he done so he would have severely jeopardised both his chance of freedom and the safety of his family in Libya. Although he responded to such misreporting with a faint smile and a roll of the eyes, it hurt him deeply that anyone could believe him guilty of murder. One story was rather easier to refute: Sky News's October 2009 report that he had died. By chance I was with him that day. It was almost impossible to talk as every few seconds he took a call from a distressed relative. When I last saw him, in September 2010, he visited me at my hotel. It was the only time I saw him among ordinary Libyans. Again we were repeatedly interrupted, this time by strangers thanking him, not for an act of terrorism, but for sacrificing his liberty for the good of the nation. His decision to stand trial helped free the country from UN sanctions that imposed 12 years of collective punishment on the assumption of his guilt. We now know that that assumption was based on evidence that was, at best, flimsy and, at worst, fabricated. His appearance at the rally in a wheelchair probably won't silence the conspiracy theorists who claim he is living the life of Riley. The fact that he has made it this far is partly down to the superior medical care he receives. But I believe it's as much to do with his will to live and the knowledge that every day survived is a fragment of justice reclaimed.

Keluarga tiga remaja ditembak polis buat aduan ketiga, desak siasatan
baru
Oleh Syed Mu'az Syed Putra
August 11, 2011

PETALING JAYA, 11 Ogos — Keluarga tiga remaja, yang ditembak mati oleh
polis dalam di Glenmarie dekat Shah Alam November lalu, hari ini
membuat satu lagi laporan polis sambil menegaskan kesemua anak mereka
ditembak mati oleh pasukan keselamatan itu.

Mereka menegaskan pendirian itu berdasarkan laporan bedah siasat yang
diterima baru-baru ini.

Laporan polis dibuat hari ini merupakan yang ketiga sejak insiden itu
November lalu.

Terbaru laporan bedah siasat yang melibatkan Muhamad Hanafi Omar
menunjukkan remaja berusia 22 tahun itu ditembak tiga kali — satu di
pipi, di bawah cuping teling dan dada.

Sebelum ini laporan bedah siasat dua lagi remaja, Mohd Shamil Hafiz
Shafie, 16, dan Mohd Khairul Nizam Tuah juga menerima tembakan di
kepala dan dada.

Dalam kejadian pada 13 November lalu, kesemua mereka mati di tempat
kejadian, namun polis menegaskan ketiga-tiga remaja itu ditembak
kerana cuba menyerang dengan parang.

Dalam laporan polis dibuat hari ini, ketiga-tiga keluarga itu mahu
polis membuka semula kertas siasatan dan mendakwa kesemua pegawai yang
terlibat dalam kes tersebut.

"Laporan-laporan bedah siasat ini menunjukkan bahawa peluru telah
memasuki badan mangsa pada sudut 45 darjah ke belakang, kami percaya
ini adalah kerana mereka ditembak oleh penembak yang berada di
kedudukan atas mereka iaitu mereka mungkin dipaksa melutut sebelum
ditembak mati.

"Soalnya juga kenapa perlu dua das tembakan ke kepala dan dada jika
tujuannya kononnya hanya untuk menghalang mereka daripada menyerang
polis, kesemua mereka menerima dua tembakan kecuali Hanafi (tiga
tembakan)," kata mereka.

Justeru mereka mendakwa polis cuba menutup penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh
pegawai mereka dengan mengatakan kesemua remaja itu cuba menyerang
dengan parang dan terpaksa dihalang dengan tembakan.

"Kami menuntut supaya satu penyiasatan dimulakan segera ke atas
anggota-anggota polis yang terlibat atas kesalahan membunuh.

"Kami juga mahu pegawai atasan yang mengeluarkan kenyataan berhubung
kes ini disiasat kerana memberikan maklumat palsu, kami menuntut
keadilan atas kematian anak-anak kami," katanya.

Hari ini keluarga ketiga-tiga remaja itu diwakili oleh Hamidah Kadar,
51, iaitu ibu Mohd Khairul Nizam, Norhafizah Mad Razali, 37, yang
merupakan ibu Mohd Shamil dan bapa Mohamad Hanafi, Omar Abu Bakar, 58.

Ketiga-tiga remaja itu mati ditembak polis di Jalan Kerjaya Glenmarie
kira-kira pukul 4.15 pagi selepas menyamun sebuah stesen minyak 13
Disember lalu.

Menurut laporan media sebelum ini ketiga-tiga remaja ini disyaki
sebagai ahli Geng Minyak dan mati ditembak kira-kira dua kilometer
dari lokasi kejadian.

Sementara itu Peguam hak asasi N. Surendran yang mewakili Lawyers For
Liberty menegaskan, laporan bedah siasat terbaru yang diterima
beberapa hari lalu menunjukkan ia bercanggah dengan maklumat polis.

"Kami telah menerima laporan bedah siasat Muhamad Hanafi dan ia jelas
menunjukkan kesemua mereka telah ditembak dalam jarak dekat.

"Mohd Shamil ditembak di tengah-tengah dahi dan dada, (Mohd) Hairul
Nizam di tepi kepala dan dada, dan Mohamad Hanafi menerima dua
tembakan di kepala iaitu di sisi pipi dan di bawah cuping telinga
selain turut ditembak di dada," katanya pada sidang media di Ibu
pejabat Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya di sini.

Tegas Naib Presiden PKR ini, laporan bedah siasat secara jelas
membuktikan kesemua remaja itu ditembak dengan tujuan "membunuh."

"Jika polis nak hentikan (serangan) mengapa tidak tembak di tangan
atau kaki? Mengapa mesti di kepala dan dada?

"Tembakan ini bukan bertujuan untuk menghentikan (serangan) tapi
bertujuan untuk membunuh," katanya.

Seorang lagi Naib Presiden PKR Nurul Izzah Anwar berkata, beliau mahu
Putrajaya memberikan penjelasan berhubung kes tembakan tiga remaja
itu .

Nurul Izzah, yang juga Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai mahu Perdana
Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri
Hishammuddin Hussein memberikan penjelasan berhubung peningkatan kes
tembakan mati yang melibatkan polis.

"Sudah tentu kita akan bawa perkara ini Parlimen tapi terlebih dahulu
kita mahu penjelasan perdana menteri, menteri dalam negeri dan ketua
polis negara dalam isu ini," kata Nurul Izzah.

Stupid Americans willing to die to make the rich get richer

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2011/08/06/MNA71KK6OJ.DTL

By voting Republicans in the last congress elections, had to the
current dilemma of US credit rating downgrading. Instead of taxing the
rich as Clinton had done successfully, they still want to continue the
failed Bush economics.

Americans think that by not taxing the rich, the rich will create
jobs. They failed to see the facts. It didn't. Obama failed because
these tax reductions for the rich is still effective during Obama's
term.

What the rich want is to stop health and education help which can kill
many poor US citizens. The stupid Americans even believe that these
taxes will be applied to the the poor which is a blatant lie, and
stupidly refuse to see the facts.

When reductions of health benefits for the rich, such as health
benefits for Congressmen, these people refuse to budge also.

U.S. credit rating downgraded by Standard & Poor's

City's Times Square.

Standard & Poor's announced Friday night that it downgraded the credit
rating of the United States for the first time, dealing a symbolic
blow to the world's economic superpower in what was a sharply worded
critique of the American political system.

Lowering the nation's rating to one notch below triple-A, the credit
rating company said "political brinksmanship" in the debate over the
debt had made the U.S. government's ability to manage its finances
"less stable, less effective and less predictable." It said the
bipartisan agreement reached this week to find at least $2.1 trillion
in budget savings fell short of what was necessary to tame the
nation's debt over time and predicted that leaders would not be likely
to achieve more savings in the future.

"It's always possible the rating will come back, but we don't think
it's coming back any time soon," said David Beers, head of S&P's
sovereign debt rating unit.

The decision came after an afternoon of furious debate between the
Obama administration and S&P. Government officials argued S&P's
analysis of the potential for political agreement was flawed and that
its initial report contained mathematical errors - the company had
overstated the U.S. deficit over 10 years by $2 trillion.

"A judgment flawed by a $2 trillion error speaks for itself," a
Treasury spokesman said Friday.
Uncharted territory

The downgrade to double-A-plus will push the global financial markets
into uncharted territory after a volatile week fueled by concerns over
a worsening debt crisis in Europe and a faltering economy in the
United States.

The triple-A rating has made the U.S. Treasury bond one of the world's
safest investments - and has helped the nation borrow at
extraordinarily cheap rates to finance its government operations,
including two wars and an expensive social safety net for retirees.

Treasury bonds also have been an island of stability amid the economic
upheaval of the past few years. The nation has had a triple-A rating
for 70 years.

Analysts say that, over time, the downgrade could push up borrowing
costs for the U.S. government, costing taxpayers tens of billions of
dollars a year. It could also drive up interest rates for consumers
and companies seeking mortgages, credit cards and business loans.

A downgrade may also have a cascading effect on states and localities.
These governments could lose their triple-A credit ratings as well,
potentially raising the cost of borrowing for schools, roads and
parks.

But the exact impact of the downgrade won't be known until at least
Sunday night, when Asian markets open, and perhaps not fully grasped
for months. Analysts say the initial effect on the markets may be
modest because they have been anticipating an S&P downgrade for weeks.

And even without a triple-A rating from S&P, U.S. debt is seen as one
of the safest investments in the world. Investors clearly weren't
scared away this week. While stocks were plunging, investors were
buying Treasurys and driving up their prices.

The ratings action immediately fueled partisan wrangling Friday night.
Allies of President Obama said it underscored his call for a "grand
bargain" that would trim $4 trillion from the federal budget involving
a mix of tax revenue and spending cuts.

Republicans criticized Obama's handling of the economy. "Standard &
Poor's rating downgrade is a deeply troubling indicator of our
country's decline under President Obama," Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney said.

S&P has angered government officials with aggressive warnings over the
past few months of a potential downgrade. Those warnings, so far, have
not worried government bond markets.

What's more, the two other major credit rating companies, Moody's
Investors Service and Fitch Ratings, have said they would preserve the
nation's triple-A rating for now.

S&P's downgrade was as much a political critique as a financial
conclusion. It is based on a view that American political leaders
would be unable to come up with at least $4 trillion in savings, which
is needed to bring the nation's debt to a manageable level over the
next decade.

The debt deal passed by Congress earlier this week proposed spending
cuts in two phases. Democrats and Republicans agreed to the first
round, worth nearly $1 trillion. But a congressional committee must
decide the remaining $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion, and S&P
questioned whether that would ever happen.
Indictment of gridlock

S&P added that it expects that the upper-income Bush-era tax cuts will
continue, despite vows from Obama to end the breaks next year.

"The majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any
measure that would raise revenues," the firm said.

S&P's downgrade served as an indictment of the gridlock that sent the
nation to the edge of defaulting on its debt obligations. It is also
striking in part because it reflects the tremendous power of a small
group of financial analysts employed by a New York company, part of
McGraw-Hill. In Europe, political leaders have taken aim at credit
rating companies when they cut the ratings of governments struggling
with heavy debt burdens.

The company said the United States' financial position was diverging
from that of other triple-A countries, including Canada, France,
Germany and Britain.

Countries with a double-A-plus rating include New Zealand and Belgium.
Among those countries with a double-A rating, one notch lower, are
Bermuda, Spain and Qatar.

Easy for BN to issue ICs to phantom voters

Yong attacked over ‘phantom voters’

Queville To | August 3, 2011

Former senator Dr Chong Eng Leong has offered his assistance to any institution or group wanting to rid the electoral rolls of phantoms voters.

KOTA KINABALU: Political activist Dr Chong Eng Leong, already under attack by ex-chief minister Harris Salleh for his outspokeness over the illegal immigrant issue, has now trained his guns on another former Sabah chief minister.
This time Chong, a former senator, alleged that Yong Teck Lee, who is now in the opposition ranks with his Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), was a beneficiary of phantom voters in Likas, during the 1999 general election.
“Yong, you were not a victim of phantom voters in Likas, you were not the scapegoat – you got their votes and for this it was not your fault but it was what BN wanted.
“Loss of your YB status then had nothing to do with phantom voters in Likas rolls.
“It was Harris Salleh’s petition against you that cost you your YBship – your election billboards contravened election laws,” Chong pointed out yesterday in response to Yong’s statement.
Chong, who is a former Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) member, is now with PKR.
Acknowledging that the subsequent Likas election petition in the same year had exposed the method by which ICs were being issued using falsified SDs (Statutory Declarations), Chong said as the petitioner he did not stop at the Likas roll after the trial.
He also said that he had not “conveniently and consistently ignored the existence of phantom voters in other places like Kawang” as claimed by Yong in his statement.
“In fact I further probed into the whole Sabah rolls. That’s how I traced the 70,000 names in the Sabah rolls, names corresponding to the Project IC numbers disclosed in the trial and Kawang had 1,292 phantom voters,” Chong added.
No political will
He however agreed with Yong that it is possible to rid the rolls of phantoms – only if the central government has the political will to do it.
“And I am more then willing to help any body or institution like SAPP towards this end, after all it is for Sabah’s sovereignty within Malaysia,” he said.
Meanwhile, in a statement carried by the local newspapers, Harris on Monday accused Chong of “repeatedly instigating matters on racial and religious issues” and said that his Yayasan Islam Sabah will lodge a police report against him.
He criticised Chong for singling out Malays and Muslims as the beneficiaries of the alleged secret project to issue citizenship to foreign immigrants in order to build a vote bank for the ruling Barisan Nasional government.
