        I made the following transcript from a tape recording 
        of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio Network station
               WBAI-FM (99.5)
               505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.

DAVE EMORY:
The evidence of the compromising of both the MC-10 operation and 
the McKee Team, which was culled from it, raises questions, not 
only about why this intelligence operation was compromised (who by),
but, ultimately, what the Bush Administration and United States
intelligence knows concerning the Pan Am 103 bombing, and the
probable involvement of some elements of United States intelligence,
at some level.

When Federal intelligence agencies in the United States decide to
move in a particular direction -- or when a faction of them decides
to move in a particular direction -- they do so when to move in 
that direction would scratch a number of different itches at
different levels simultaneously. I question whether the Pan Am 103
bombing, among other things -- in addition to preserving the
security of the collaboration between Manzur El-Khassar and a
faction of United States intelligence -- I wonder to what extent it
might have been envisioned (the bombing, that is) as an excuse for
further military action. Certainly at this point, there is a great
deal of saber rattling in the direction of Libya, and there is no
public discussion, at least not in the United States, about the
numerous indications of the involvement of elements of United States
intelligence with Manzur El-Khassar.

SAMORI MARKSMAN:
Intelligence analyst, Dave Emory.

WORLD VIEW is a weekly half-hour broadcast with occasional expanded
special editions, such as this week's, which is examining the
alleged Libyan bombing of Pan Am flight 103, and what appears to be
the Bush Administration's use of this human tragedy for personal
political gain, as its re-election efforts appear to be in grave
trouble.

Dr. Francis Boyle is a professor of history at the University of
Illinois. He is a leading authority on U.S.-Libya relations, and is
currently involved in a thorough investigation of the Lockerbie
bombing. Before leaving for Geneva a few days ago in connection 
with that investigation, he spoke with Barbara Nimri Aziz of
Pacifica Radio WBAI-FM here in New York.

DR. FRANCIS BOYLE:
It's very important to understand all the efforts that Libya has
taken to resolve this dispute with the United States and the United
Kingdom peacefully. And that has not generally been reported in the
mainstream U.S. news media. When the allegations first were made,
open in public last December on the anniversary of the Lockerbie
bombing, Libya formally offered to submit the entire matter to the
Internationl Court of Justice, or to an international arbitration
tribunal, or to an international commission of investigation.
All of those offers were just rejected unilaterally and summarily 
by the United States and the United Kingdom.

Now, the Friday before the last U.N. Security Council vote against
Libya, the Libyan Government sent diplomatic notes to the United
States and the United Kingdom that formally invoked article 14 of
the Montreal Sabotage Convention. That is directly on point. The
Montreal Sabotage Convention deals with situations where individuals
are alleged to have blown up aircraft or to have tried to blow up
aircraft or assaulted aircraft or things of that nature.

Article 14 states that, in the event there is a dispute over the
interpretation or application of the convention that cannot be
resolved by means of negotiation, than any party has the right to 
submit the matter to an international arbitration tribunal.      
So, after having tried, for almost a month and a half, to resolve
the dispute peacefully, Libya then invoked the Convention and told
the U.S. and the U.K.: Alright, let's submit the matter to an
impartial, international arbitration tribunal.  Both the U.S. and
the U.K. summarily rejected that right of arbitration, as well, and
then rammed through this Security Council resolution that was
critical of Libya and seemed to prejudge the situation against
Libya. And that is where we stand now.

BARBARA NIMRI AZIZ:
Now, regarding that attempt by Libya to have this issue submitted 
to the Montreal Convention -- if the United States summarily
dismisses this .... I mean, the United States and Britain are both
signatories to that convention, and yet, they dismiss it. This is a
very serious matter in regard to international law, in general.   
If there can be no invocation of any other authority, THE superpower
can simply disregard international law, even where it is a signatory.
                       (to be continued)

     This is one of countless stories unveiling the subverted, corrupt     
     and fascistic state of our theoretically democratic Government.
     This story makes it disgustingly obvious that true patriotism is not  
     the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless
     supporting of our Government, just because it happens to be ours. 
     You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it. 
     True patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country
     in order that they may unite to conquer this anti-democratic cancer
     that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom.
     So please post the installments of this ongoing series to  
     computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places,  
     both on and off campus.  That would be a truly patriotic deed.

           John DiNardo
