The Great Speckled Bird has learned that the ridiculous perjury
conviction of former journalist/Defense Intelligence Agent Lester
Coleman has been overturned upon appeal. No further details are
available at this time. The significance of this development is that it
greatly increases the likelihood that Coleman will be called as a
defense witness in the upcoming trial in The Netherlands of the two
Libyans charged with the blowing up of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie,
Scotland. Coleman is the author of the book The Trail of the Octopus,
published in Britain but suppressed in the United States, which
describes a U.S. intelligence-Syrian-Iranian-Palestinian connection to
the bombing. For more on the significance of Coleman's knowledge in the
case go to

At the end of that article I note that the documentary film maker on the
Coleman angle on Pan Am 103, Allan Francovich, died mysteriously a few
years ago. Further information I have is that he was on a trip to the
United States to meet with one of his financial supporters and others
about his work. He died of a sudden seizure while attempting to clear
customs at the airport in Houston, Texas. His supporters all suspected
foul play. I have no further details at this time. If anyone can
supply further public information about the death of Francovich it would
be appreciated.
