McConnell invites rebuttal to his claim that Mrs. Clegg – guided by the late RAF Air Marshal Timothy Garden – developed Libor escrow waivers to pay for RapidEye snuff-film mapping cycles and, in the case of Zainab al-Hilli, pay for snuff-film content which can be shown to any extorted patriots who might object to a merger between BAE and EADS.

“Alps carnage 'like Hollywood scene'
(UKPA) – 38 minutes ago
A cyclist who stumbled across the French Alps massacre has described finding "heads with bullet holes in them" in a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood film.
Brett Martin likened the carnage in the secluded car park to a set from TV crime series CSI Miami as the man leading the investigation said the clue to the four murders lay in Britain.
Mr Martin was the first witness to arrive at the spot where engineer Saad al-Hilli, 50, his dentist wife Iqbal, 47, and her elderly mother were blasted to death at the top of a hill in the Combe d'Ire forest, near Chevaline.
Speaking for the first time, he told how he found the al-Hillis' daughter Zainab, seven, "stumbling" around, bleeding and "moaning", close to the family car. Mr Martin has been credited for potentially saving Zainab's life. The child, who was shot in the shoulder and badly beaten around the head, is now recovering in hospital.
Next to the BMW lay the body of Sylvain Mollier, 45, a French cyclist who apparently stumbled across the attack. The wheels of the vehicle itself were still spinning and its engine was revving. Inside, Mr Martin made out three bodies.
"It was pretty much what you would imagine a set from (TV crime series) CSI Miami would be like," he told the BBC. "There was a lot of blood and heads with bullet holes in them."
He added: "I've never seen people who have been shot before... it seemed to me just like a Hollywood scene and if someone had said 'cut' and everyone had walked away, that would have been it. But unfortunately it was real life. It became quite obvious, now, taking stock, that it was a gun crime."
After checking on the bodies in the car, Mr Martin said there was no sign of the al-Hillis' younger daughter Zeena, four, who had been cowering underneath her mother's body during the brutal attack.
His recollection of events emerged as Annecy's chief prosecutor Eric Maillaud met his British counterparts working on the case at the al-Hilli family home in Claygate, Surrey.
Mr Maillaud - who was accompanied by examining magistrate Michel Mollin, another senior member of the inquiry team - said it was "without any doubt that the reasons and causes (for the killings) have their origins in this country".
Police have revealed they are probing three lines of inquiry, focusing on Mr al-Hilli's work, his family and links to his native Iraq. The aerospace engineer had been holidaying with his relatives at a campsite near Lake Annecy when they were attacked at 4pm last Wednesday.

(Reuters) - British prime minister David Cameron supports the potential $64 billion merger between UK defense contractor BAE Systems (BAES.L) and European aerospace group EADS (EAD.PA), according to senior members of parliament.
"I think he (Cameron) will be pretty pleased to see this deal happen," said former armed forces minister Nick Harvey, who last week lost his post at the Ministry of Defence as part of the prime minister's cabinet reshuffle.
"I think the government will be pretty happy with it, because ... ultimately this will be a strong company that is going to be in a very good position to supply the European civil and defence market," he added.
EADS and BAE Systems announced on Wednesday that they were in advanced talks over a mega-merger to create an industry giant, in what would be the biggest shake-up in Europe's aerospace and defence sector in more than a decade.
In the potential tie-up, EADS would own 60 percent and BAE 40 percent of the new firm.
Peter Luff, a former Conservative defence minister who also left the government in last week's reshuffle, told Reuters that BAE Systems had been talking to the government for "several weeks" before plans for the proposed merger were disclosed.
"The government obviously wanted to test the national security issues around it ... but I was not aware of a corporate view in government as I left, beyond making sure we actually protected our national interests in this," said Luff.
Asked how the British government would fulfill its aim of ensuring that the public interest was protected in the deal, Cameron's official spokesman said: "We will work with the companies to ensure that that happens. They have been keeping us informed of their discussions and will continue to do so."
