Guardian: Reports that Labour Leadership Candidate David Miliband and former Foreign Secretary allowed SIS ( MI6 ) to carry out operations that could lead to terror suspects being tortured abroad. If David Miliband wins one can presume that the Guardian will have to eat humble pie for a time before getting access to the new leader. On the other hand it’s a great weapon for the Coalition Government, if Labour pushes its mobile hacking claim it can grant a Judicial Review but one that will also look at the torture of UK Subjects or UK interests under political authority. Thus Mr Miliband might face some very tough questions, the nature of the cases, how far did he give the green light, etc. Also it might drag in Blair and Brown. Who will bet that if David Miliband wins there will be a side deal to drop all such investigations.
