US Court vs. UK Parliament

Guardian: Reports that a US Federal Court has blocked a House Commons Select Committee from seeing documents that concern the UK’s role in rendition. One can see why Judge Ricardo Urbina ruled the way he did, the request was not an individual request it was from a branch of the UK Governmental system, a very low branch of the UK Parliamentary system. The Judge might be thinking why are they asking the US Government, why don’t they ask THEIR own Government. One cant wait to see former Labour Ministers having to answer some very tough questions from the Police, but then as stated this blog has predicted that this messy business will be thrown in the long grass, the Police have close contacts with MI5 through Special Branch, they need each other, this is a political argument. If there was another major terrorist attack in the UK the people would want answers from the terrorists, even torture, politics change, what was seen as illegal one day but comes Government policy the next day. This blog lives in the real world folks, even if our MPs don’t at the moment.
