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
The trouble with Fred Halliday was that he drank too much. He repeatedly warned colleagues at the London School of Economics, where he was professor of international relations, that taking money from Libya would come back to haunt them.
Fred spoke ten languages including several from the Middle East. He could see that the university where he had taught for 15 years was dealing with the Devil and risking its precious international reputation. He didn’t even want Saif Gaddafi to be a student there.
They didn’t listen to him. Not just because he drank, of course, but because they were greedy for Libyan money, a donation of a whopping £1.5million that Saif, now 38, made to the LSE a year after they had given him a PhD.

LSE investigates Gaddafi's son plagiarism claims
The London School of Economics has confirmed it is investigating allegations that Colonel Gaddafi's son plagiarised his PhD thesis.
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.
