Co-Conspirators to War Crimes

Scotland to London: no U.S. weapons flights to Israel.

Scotland threatens to overrule London on U.S. weapons flights to Israel.

The United States has been caught using Prestwick Airport to ship GBU28 “bunker buster” bombs, laser-guided bombs, and other weapons to Israel for its military attacks on Lebanon and Gaza. The arms have been transported by two chartered A310 cargo planes from the United States via Prestwick to Tel Aviv. Blair’s spokesman in Washington told reporters, “President Bush did apologize for the fact that proper procedures were not followed . . . It was a gracious thing to do.”



Blair overruled his own Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett by saying the arms flights would continue.



Members of the Scottish Parliament, particularly Scottish National Party members, are calling on the Scottish government to ban the U.S. flights from Scotland, a move that could result in a constitutional crisis between London and Edinburgh.
