de Menezes leak

Could this be an attempt to switch the story from "how the police screwed up" to "how the media reported the story"?

oh, I see, you mean - "look the nasty papers are getting at our brave (might have been a bit hasty like, but were only trying to protect Die Volk) coppers, by publishing this (even if it's true it's not in the public interest) Now we're not going to give them anything, and you should ignore everything they say, they just tear people down who are trying to do a good job?" Yup, it's possible - storing up points for later on you mean? What a worrying thought, just what civil liberty is bliar going to attack next?

That was my train of thought. I now doubt it though. The fact that the gov/met are stonewalling suggests that they have really been caught by surprise. I mean since when did Blair maintain "a principled silence"?

haha, that's brilliant. Sorry, any sentece with the use of the word Blair and principled amuses me greatly. Shame you weren't so avowedly taciturn when the question of David Kelly's name came up hey Tony?
