Very nice to see PM Blair and President Bush confirming the culmination of 9 months of behind the scenes diplomacy with Libya, begun at the behest of Colonel Gaddafi no less.
Washington reports that Libya has already shared detailed information about its WMD & missile programs with both UK and US intelligence services.
Libya will allow open inspections of its programs, and transparent supervision of their dismantlement - "immediately and unconditionally". Libya will sign the applicable treaties. Libya will cooperate in the War on Terror.
With these steps, and the Lockerbie settlement, Libya will begin to enjoy the benefits of rejoining the brotherhood of nations.
To paraphrase the president, old enemies need not be enemies any longer.
