UK: new evidence pointing to serious doubts in the government about the legality of the war in Iraq... guardian.co.uk .... In an interview with the Guardian she described her reaction when she first saw the US National Security Agency email asking for GCHQ's help in bugging the offices and homes of UN diplomats. "I thought, 'Good God, that's pretty outrageous'." She felt she had no choice but to do what she did. The UN was being undermined. She thought about the destruction of people's lives in Iraq.... ..... She remembered her husband telling her: "Do nothing and die, or fight and die." But the prospect of a criminal trial, "of having the whole government machine after you", was scary, she said. ..... She continued: "I know it's very difficult and people don't want to jeopardise their careers or lives, but if there are things out there that should really come out, hey, why not." Civil courage and conscience. Interview: guardian.co.uk "How a US bugging operation was exposed by one lone whistleblower" guardian.co.uk
