London School of Useful Idiots: How a cadre of Blair cronies, ex-MI5 chiefs and top dons at a top university supported Gaddafi for his millions

Saif al-Islam studied at the LSE from 2003 to 2008, gaining both a Master of Science degree and a doctorate.
But allegations have emerged that he used a ghost writer, and copied sections of his thesis.
In 2009, he pledged a £1.5m donation to the LSE from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation.

Eine Person in Fußnoten
„Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg“ Das öffentliche Bild von Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg ist kein Plagiat. Es ist eine Eigenleistung der Presse und entstand in mühevoller Kleinarbeit. Die Vorwürfe, dabei sei bewusst getäuscht worden, sind abstrus. Eine Rekonstruktion.
Der CSU-Vorstand hat am Montag den Bundestagsabgeordneten Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg einstimmig zum Generalsekretär der Partei berufen. Der 36 Jahre alte Politiker kündigte an, er wollen eine deutliche Aussprache pflegen, die auf Substanz gegründet sei.(1) Schon lange gilt Guttenberg als eines der Talente der CSU.
