What Memo? Where? Says Tony...
Posted November 29th, 2005 by quarsan
Blair is now denying the contents of the memo, in a highly convoluted way:
Blair was asked in a written question to parliament made public on Monday "what information he received on action that the United States administration proposed to take against the Al Jazeera television channel?"
In a written response, Blair gave the one-word answer "none"
Perhaps now someone could ask a slighly tighter question: Did Bush mention bombing al -Jazeera's premises, in any context, during any of your meetings with him?
Another good one is: Have Keogh and O'Connor been charged with leaking the memo leaked by the Times, or the memo leaked by the Daily Mirror?
If, as reported, they have only been charged with leaking the Times memo, how can the leaking of the Mirror memo be sub-judice?
I don't think number two
I don't think number two will stretch the No10 machine. "The government has,of course, nothing to do with prosecution of offences. That's up to the independent,(and that'll be emphasised),CPS!
