Ask any politician what is their greatest asset - and they'll more than likely say loss of memory. How else does Tony Blair explain his tented summit with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi - aka Mad Dog - which resulted in Britain signing an arms deal?
The Libyan leader is not only laughing all the way to the bank. He has probably fallen off his camel en route.
I'm sure the good people of Lockerbie will join me in contragulating the prime minister on his initiave.

We accuse a former KGB agent and ask for his extradition. The agent says it was all the fault of M16.
Prime minister's are paid to know the facts andnot tolerate the conjecture. So what's Number 10 saying to that? Nothing, of course. President Putink is already annoyed enough with the West for reintroducing the arms race.
Meanwhile the African - sorry, British - prime minister continues on his way with a far ewell tour that would have sufficed for Gracie Fields.
Except that this week, the long-dead Rochdale warbler was declared to have been rewgarded as an alien by the British civil service.
Just like Tony Blair, in fact.
