Libya Plays Right

Releasing the Bulgarian nurses and Palestinian doctor accused, convicted and sentenced to death over HIV/AIDS-related charges was a smart diplomatic move by Libya. The "convicts" fully deny the charges till this day.

I appreciate Libyan President Qaddafi and French First Lady Madame Sarkozy for this. Kudos also to all other overt and faceless players around the globe. Well done!

No doubt, there were deals all the way! Now, the "prisoners" are back home, and free - after about 9 years out in the desert nation. Libya has also, consequently resumed full international engagement - ending the uneasy relations with the West over this issue. So should it all stay.

The brewing spats and controversies over pardons and arms deals, etc. are unnecessary and should be resolved positively. On all sides.
