I wonder how much the recent new revelations from the Osprey program investigations had to do with the speeded-up release of news about the new weapon. Attention diverter? New exotic weapons are a lot more newsworthy for the Pentagon than failed old ones. Chas (cynical as ever)

Blair-Bush meeting highlights growing rift between US and Europe By Julie Hyland 28 February 2001 wsws.org Excerpt: Whilst Blair attempted to act as an “honest broker”, US representatives made clear it was America that was making the running. Speaking on BBC Radio Four, Richard Perle, deputy Defense Secretary in the Reagan administration, derided the idea that the US required a “bridge” to Europe. In a veiled warning to the UK, Perle said, "We want friends, we want allies, we are not looking for a bridge. The notion that the UK will somehow represent the US to others is really anathema. It's quite an absurd concept.”
