Iranians aren't Arabs. What's more, a Pan Arab coalition in the Gulf War
was flat out impossible since the war was between two Arab states, Iraq
and Kuwait, both of whom, incidently, were created by Britain by fiat not
long after WWI.
On the other hand, the Libyians almost certainly didn't do it.
FWIW, I interviewed Bobbie Riconosciuto a few years ago and she talked a
little about Lockerbie. Bobbie is the wife of Inslaw case figure Michael
Riconosciuto, a man whose name should be familiar to any serious
concpiracy buff. Opinions vary as to who and what Michael Riconosciuto is.
He's been called an intelligence operative, a computer wiz, a drug dealer
and a pathological liar. He was one of the last people to ever speak with
Danny Casolaro. He claims to have warned him.
Here's what his wife said about Pan Am 103:
(snip)
Bobbie: Well, I didn't know all of what they were doing. You know, Michael
would tell me things off the cuff, you know. I think when it finally hit
home was when Pan Am 103 went down. I listened to the news . . . Michael
had come home; he'd been home maybe three hours. And he hadn't been home
in a couple of weeks. And he was just being . . . he had just gone to bed.
I was listening to the news and they were talking about this plane going
down over Lockerbie and the fact that the CIA station boss from Beirut was
on the plane and you know, I'm uh, sitting there thinking, "Wake him up or
not? If I wake him up, I betcha he's going to leave." I don't want him to
leave. He needs to be home. He's tired. You know, I kinda have to wake him
up. You know, back and forth, back and forth. Finally I decided I had to
wake him up and he left about an hour later. He made phone calls from the
house that night that he had never really made before. He never used to
make any of those kind of calls from the house. He would go to a pay
phone, and you know and called them so there wasn't, you know, I mean,
Michael was the king of change. The kids always knew where to get spare
change. His pockets were always full of quarters. And that night he called
several people and he told them not to talk to Bob. He told them not to
talk to certain other individuals, Ted in particular. I'd never seen him
so agitated. He left that night. He said he'd be back in a couple of hours
and he flew to Oklahoma. I don't know if you want to pursue this . . .
(We had a brief off record discussion of the implications, legal and
otherwise, of discussing classified material, particularly bio-war. Bobbie
was becoming increasingly nervous. Neither of us, we both agreed, wanted
to fight a treason bust. Neither of us cared to be "silenced.")
Nessie: Let's talk about the plane.
Bobbie: Oh, OK . . .
Nessie: So Michael runs out of the house in the middle of the night. He's
scared. You must have been scared.
Bobbie: I was very concerned, because what he basically said when he left
was that somebody had made a decision, and the decision was that anybody
who was aware of certain things that had happened during given operations,
specifically, um, uh, Yermay, Fidco, those companies, those proprietary
companies that the operation to redo the, uh, structure of Beirut after
the bombing, anybody that was aware of those operations, looked at them,
were on that plane. OK, they were gone. That's heavy. The ones that
weren't gone, were, shortly thereafter.
Nessie: Now, did Michael explain this to you when he was packing, did you
know ahead of time, or did you figure it out later?
Bobbie: I knew about Fidco. I didn't know much about Yermay, although I'd
heard of it. I knew a little, just real surface things about PROMIS, why
they did what they did, how it was being used. Um, I didn't know anything
really beyond that, except that that was when at the end of that time when
Michael walked away, that that was the principals in Fidco and the
Wackenhut/Cabazon Joint Venture, that's what they were very irritated at
Michael about, OK, was it had to do with that. I didn't know the
specifics. The only thing that I knew that the people that were on that
plane were people that Michael trusted. They were people that Michael had
worked with. And that they were basically honest folk. And that they were
on their way home to dump it. OK? They were on their way home to open
their mouths.
Nessie: So they were walking away from it.
Bobbie: Because it was, it was ugly what was happening. You know? The
double and triple dealing, the uh, you know, all of that, that kind of, of
stuff that wasn't, had nothing to do with anything as far as security
went. It didn't have to do with intelligence operations that were
normally, went through normal channels any more. It was ugly stuff that
needed to be stopped. And, you know some of the family, some of the
family, uh, Michael talked to. He went through the same kind of thing when
Gerald was murdered. You know he talked to Gerald's wife, and she, I mean
she called often for along time. She talked to him because, you know it
wasn't, it wasn't OK. They hung him out there to dry. To get off that way.
And it shouldn't have been like that. And there came a point where Michael
said enough is enough. I, uh, . . . the Pan Am 103 thing, Les Coleman, he
filed an affidavit in the Inslaw case that we tried to get entered into
evidence in Michael's trial and the judge wouldn't allow it. He wouldn't
allow anything that had to do with that. He, he instructed the prosecution
on how to limit Michael's ability to defend himself. It should have been
expected.
