Hear no evil, see no evil

If you want to know how New Labour survives, look at the cack-handed way the media spun the New Statesman’s torture exclusive. They claimed the leaked FO document shows that Jack Straw lied when he said Britain knew nothing about extraordinary rendition.

No it doesn’t. What it proves is that the government doesn’t know and isn’t busting a gut to find out. The FO says it has no ‘mechanism’ for finding out if the Americans send suspects captured by British troops to interrogation centres. And because it hasn’t gone through the files, it doesn’t know if there have been US requests for the use of UK air space for extraordinary rendition either.

Tony Blair escapes because enemies always hit him with the wrong charge. This scandal is not about what the government does know but has covered up, but what the government doesn’t know but should.
