It's a mix that sounds like conspiracy whacks on one hand, but supported by people who would probably not be considered as such, like Noel Koch (Pentagon's former counter-terrorism head), NPR, Hart Lidov (Harvard medical research scientist who published a scathing report about Revell in Columbia Journalism Review). Revell has been busy suing anybody who gave him bad press. Chris Byron is not the first. The gist is that Revell intentionally misdirected the Lockerbie investigation for political reasons. The two Libyans were a weak case and the real culprits were from Iran and Syria. And, depending on far you want to take it, that Revell had advance warning about Lockerbie and got his son who was scheduled for the flight, to change his travel plans. It all sounds pretty "Oli Stone" but the dissenters are interesting. Koch, for example, was unimpressed with Revell's findings, and summed up the political situation in an NPR joint venture: "Whenever you got to the point where you needed to take some overt action to demonstrate you were actually doing something about terrorism, Libya was the preferred target simply because Colonel Qadhafi himself was viewed in the Islamic world as an apostate, in the Arab world as a pariah. Nothing much was lost by going after him. A great deal could be lost by going after Syria or Iran or Iraq or other countries that had an involvement in terrorism and which were, in fact, known by the United States to be involved in terrorism." americanradioworks.org
