According to *Libyan* sources, often operatives were dispatched and never
contacted again to avoid detection and/or connection with Libya. If this
is the
case, it *may* have been impossible for Qaddafi to "turn off" the
Lockerbie
bombing after it was put into motion *before* El Dorado Canyon.

I doubt that for such a big operation with possibly serious consequences
there was not some kind of last minute "go code". Or at least, if Qaddafi
really wanted to give up any terrorist activities I think he had enough
means and connections to cancel the whole operation anytime within a two
year time frame.

Terrible, but not a factor for US citizens.

And I thought the war on terrorism was a worldwide one, in which everyone
was commited... I'm sure you don't mean that it matters only when American
interests are at stake, do you?

It is in this country. When Qaddafi was running his mouth and threatening
to
sink US Navy ships south of the ; "Line of Death", he was on TV nightly.
After
El Dorado Canyon, he was seen only in regards to the Lockerbie bombing
(after
they figured out it was Libyans) and his support for Iraq in 1991.


My point exactly. He disappeared from TV screens yet Libya continued its
subversive and killing actions. You cannot rely on mainstream, commercial
channels' 6 o'clock news (fortunately the printed press is more effective on
that matter) to reflect the world's reality as each one filters informations
according to its own interests, what the audience care about and what is
"hot" and appealing. It doesn't mean though that things do not happen.
