UK Rendition Policy and Colonel Gaddafi




BBC News: Report that Coalition PM David Cameron has called for an Independent Inquiry in to the allegation that the UK sent suspect terrorists to Libya under the policy of rendition. As posted by this blog the liberal New York Times had this story a few days ago, this blog did do a link to the story. It has taken the UK Media a few days catch up. On the substance of this story, another negative for the Labour Party to deal with, thus we have Iraq and dodgy Libyan dealings under Tony Blair, then financial mess under Gordon Brown and the break down of his relationship with his own Chancellor. As to if this story will go anywhere, have my doubts, after a few days of press outrage one can see it sinking, it does not suit Labour to press issue, while for the Government it’s a good political tool to be critical of Labour it does concern MI6, the Coalition would be wise to leave the spooks alone, lets recall that the CIA leaked on Bush 43 when they had been upset.
