Thompson Helped Represent Libyan Terror Suspects

"A little over three years after Pan Am Flight 103 blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland," former Sen. Fred Thompson "provided advice to a colleague about one of his law firm’s new clients: The man representing the two Libyan intelligence officials charged in the terrorist bombing," reports the New York Times.

"The colleague, John Culver, a partner at the Washington firm of Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn began advising the two suspects’ Libyan lawyer in February 1992. Mr. Thompson, according to a memorandum from that era written by his secretary, held ‘discussions with Culver re: Libya’ that same month."
