somebody somewhere has talked.

Yes, there must be plenty of guys "in the know", and whose stories have yet to be told.

The political battle between HMG and the BBC indicates to me there must be some rift of view within the intelligence services. i.e. there is a company political management battle going on within the services, and it has now spilled out with other ramifications for the media and the government.

Meanwhile it's clear as mud to the outside observer what is actually going on. Quite unsafe to form any firm conclusion in my opinion.

There are those who are against the war, and there are plenty of historical reasons why that is the best view to hold. There are also plenty of historical reasons why we did need to go to war. So both views have merit, it's a wonder why some get hysterical about one particular viewpoint.. it might need to be changed. Thats how I see it.

Looks like some British terrorist suspects may get a fair trail.

The DT, a Tory newspaper, can now be expected to tow the party line (now the Tories have finally come up with a view -g-)

Note how the DT does not seem to mention the Guantamino Bay story. I guess Tories would support Blair on that one. Thats politics for you. Just my guess of course.
