International Law

Who guards the guards? (2)

By John Hirst

The Tories are trying to make political capital out of this affair. I agree with David Davis that a Commons statement should be made by Jack Straw, however, why is he not calling for Commons statements from Charles Clarke and John Reid, the two former Home Secretaries who authorised the illegal bugging to take place? This might be a good time to inform David Davis, if he is not aware, and remind him if he is, that proof of posting is not proof of delivery. And, to ask Jack Straw, what is the purpose of ordering an inquiry (a waste of taxpayers money) into events for which the government already has the answers? Perhaps, questions should be asked, why is a man in prison who has not broken any English laws, and being held in custody on behalf of our American masters, just because he operated a website (not child porn related), and the Internet Service Provider is based in America? This world domination by America of other countries affairs should really stop. Not until America cleans up its violations of human rights in relation to Guantanamo Bay, should we agree to extradite our citizens on vague war against terror allegations.
