Lots of them sweating over what Wikileaks and the New Libya will reveal about Gaddafi and his western friends

Two mass murderers living it up

A Judge OK’d the extradition of Julian Assange to Sweden for questioning about charges of rape and sexual misconduct today. The extradition is in response to a very questionable process called the EAW or European Arrest Warrant.

As this is occurring, the Scottish Herald has a piece in it * about the situation in Libya and the dirty secrets that Wikileaks may have that it will release at some date in the near future. Yesterday, Libya’s former justice minister, Mustafa Abedel-Jalil claimed that Gaddafi personally ordered the the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing and who knows what might be revealed in the coming months.

There are not only bankers that are sweating over what Wikileaks will release about their dirty deals, but as the Herald puts it, “Think arms dealers, senior oil executives, mercenary soldiers, intelligence officials and some international politicians and you’ll get the gist of what I’m meaning.”

Wikileaks has already released information concerning the dealings of Gaddafi’s family as he looted, Libya’s oil wealth. His oldest son was the leading figure in telecommunications, another was National Security Adviser, one was in shipping, and others were in various other influential political and business posts.

It is coming out that British and other western firms have been selling arms and military equipment to Gaddafi, not something we don't know, but when Wikileaks releases confirm these facts in writing it has a not insignificant effect on mass consciousness.

The Herald reports that a British company, NMS has been training the Libyan police on how to control riots. The US, Britain and other western governments have propped up all these dictators that are now falling due to the heroic struggle of the Arab masses. They have supported thugs and murderers who have helped them in their "War on Terror" and armed them so they could wage a "War on Terror"against their own citizens; against democratic rights, trade Unions, political freedom and all the freedoms they claim to stand for.  Bush and Blair and all those that came before them are a bunch murderers and war criminals.

As long as the money keeps coming in

The Herald points out correctly the hypocrisy of these people criticizing Gaddafi's use of mercenaries and the like from other countries. What are these people but mercenaries in suits?  The contractors that the people of Falujah killed weren't contractors, they were mercenaries.  And for killing foreign mercenaries in their own country, the US destroyed a city.  Falujah will forever be a historic symbol of resistance to imperialism for the Iraqi Arab working class.

Yes, there are a lot of people sweating over what might come out of Gaddafi's jails and filing cabinets and from the heroic men and women at Wikileaks.  Blair, Hilary Clinton, they have all embraced Gaddafi.  Bradley Manning, the young soldier being held in solitary confinement in Quantico for allegedly blowing the whistle on the horrific activities of the US in Iraq and other dirty secrets is a hero. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.

The Scottish Herald concludes:
"Britain’s political relationship with the Gaddafi regime has been breathtaking in its double standards. Throughout this time rarely did we utter any disquiet over how he ruled at home. Latterly, we were even happy to parade him as a “friend” because he was willing to enter the embrace of western influence. Yes, there may be mercenaries now running the streets of Tripoli through terror and intimidation, but as recent history shows Libya is no stranger to soldiers of fortune. For years we too have been mercenary in our own dealings with the “mad dog” of the Middle East when it proved convenient."

Compared to Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld, and  the mass murderer par exellance, Henry Kissinger, Gaddafi is small potatoes.
