US Families Accepted Money for Lockerbie Deaths

http://www.nowpublic.com/world/us-transfers-libyan-money-lockerbie-victims This writer can not even imagine the pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one through acts of terror.  In fact, I cannot really imagine the pain and suffering from loss through accident.  However, civil courts and governments made legally binding deals called monetary settlements.  The perpetrator payed a fine and the victims accepted the cash.  While all is not forgiven, the family is regarded as duly compensated and the perpetrator is released from further court action.  Read this very informative article concerning the Lockerbie and Berlin Disco settlement and note the significance of the Vast Oil deposits for American companies. Also note that the deal was legal.  It was carried out by the USA Secretary of State and that there were binding agreements attached about the regard the USA promised to have toward the Libyan government.  It did not include an escape clause that the USA could change it’s mind after the deal was done and it did not contain a secret protocol allowing the USA to use NATO and the United Nations as a phony front for the overthrow of the Legally recognized government of Libya.
