I would hardly call Bulgaria a European power. And the only country here promising action
is the US - we're just criticising, not exerting any influence.
And yes of course, if they did the crime and that's the punishment then I certainly won't lose any sleep. But I think the issue is whether they did, or their confessions were extracted under torture. Which, given the reputation and history of Libya is not really a far-fetched accusation...
