Iran, not Libya, was responsible for Lockerbie, and that has had reverberations to this day. From Marin Jay at strategic-culture.su:
Reagan blamed Libyan “mad dog” leader Ghadaffi knowing full well that it was Iran who carried Lockerbie out, Martin Jay argues.
December 21st passed without hardly anyone thinking of the tragic event of an American airliner falling out of the sky in the early evening in a sleepy Scottish town in 1988. And yet the event, which could arguably be called the greatest western intelligence cover-up ever is linked to a number of other key news items in recent weeks leading some to ask is history repeating itself, when we examine the West’s relationship with Iran. The overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, the death of Jimmy Carter are all linked to Lockerbie.
As the BBC, Sky Atlantic and others continue the trend however of making dramas about Lockerbie, part of the whitewashing which has succeeded in making it such a seismic cover-up of the truth is to trivialize it. British media is complicit in the truth never really being examined and so now a drama about the event, seen through the eyes of one of its victims – Dr Jim Swire – is soon to be broadcast which might at least touch on some of the unpalatable truths about the downing of flight Pan Am 103 which killed Dr Swire’s daughter. Although, a quick glance at its reviews suggests that the British press is doing all it can to serve its U.S. masters in that it has trashed the production – which has Colin Firth playing Dr Swire – and so the drama may result in doing just the opposite. Is it possible that this production was made with the intention to make a caricature out of Dr Swire and therefore debunk his claims that Iran commissioned the Lockerbie attack and a Palestinian group carried it out – due to the bungling of DEA and CIA officers who were using the flight to allow Iranian groups in Lebanon ship heroin to the U.S. in exchange for keeping U.S. hostages alive?
