the star witness in the Pan Am 103 trial turns out to be a paid CIA informant who lied through his teeth. Reports say his testimony was so phoney his nose is still growing. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. The families of the victims deserve the truth. An original Mossad report said that Iran hired Ahmed Jibrial and all this attention on Malta is simply to cover up a drug run from Frankfurt to New York by an operative who was close to the CIA that embarrasses the CIA. It is time to investigate the truth. I yield back the fact that, if these two Libyans were responsible for blowing up Pan Am 103, they have already choked on a chicken bone in a jail cell of Qadhafi's.
