North Korea: From terror supporter to Washington’s new best friend

The Bush gang likes to talk tough about its supposed commitment to the so-called war on terror, but when it comes to earning its favor, sometimes, apparently, it actually pays to have been involved in terrorist activities. Just ask Libya’s democracy-crushing dictator, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, whose regime a few years ago accepted responsibility for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Scotland in December 1988. After coughing up several billion dollars for a fund that was earmarked for victims of the Pan Am incident, which killed 270 people, and for victims of a Libya-backed bombing of a discothèque in West Berlin in 1986 (three killed, 229 wounded), Gaddafi won the Bush gang’s approval.
