Good job.

I identified several of the suspicious passages and posted them in the list above. It only took me an hour using Google to find them. But in today's Independent, David Held says that when he contacted the dissertation supervisor to raise concerns about the authenticity of the thesis soon after it was submitted, the LSE found "no substantial evidence [of wrongdoing]." (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/lse-embroiled-in-row-over-authorship-of-gaddafis-sons-phd-thesis-and-a-15m-gift-to-universitys-coffers-2226894.html)

Sounds like somebody dropped the ball somewhere. Who was the "supervisor" that Held contacted? The Independent article doesn't clarify this.
