"Osama bin Laden will never walk on this earth again" is the rhetoric we want to represent us?

69. False. The circuit board is impeached by at least two persons.

The former Scottish police chief says the circuit board, already dubious because it was found months after the crash, was planted by the CIA. The manufacturer, Edwin Bollier, says that the CIA offered him millions of dollars to lie in support of its preferred story. The CIA also offered $2 million to another key witness. That's two impeaching the circuit board as evidence and two separate claims of CIA bribe attempts to manipulate the outcome of the court case. Strange that the truth needs so much financial support!

The lord advocate's comment you cite was not final. A retrial was later ordered by institutions of the same UK. The retrial was not completed because other UK authorities chose to release the convicted man prior to his possible exoneration. Curious.

The details of another crime in another jurisdiction may or may not be relevant; there have been many attempts to bomb passenger flights in history. All of the scenarios in this case, including your preferred story, involve more than one criminal planning together and thus are "conspiracy theories." In the Lockerbie case, the US accused Syria at a time when Syria was enemy and immediately switched to accusing Libya the moment when Syria was needed and Libya was enemy. Later Libya was friend again, and the recipient of Western arms; when it turned enemy a final time in 2011, Lockerbie was suddenly revived as an issue in the US-UK propaganda. If France had pulled such transparent political stunts with UTA 772, there might be similar doubts about that case.
