The government have dropped charges against Katharina Gun, a British spy who leaked a document about the UK and US spying on UN members. Now Clare Short, is claiming that the UK bugged conversations of Kofi Annan.
Katherine Gun was not really a "spy" - however she was employed at CGHQ on the communications side where she witnessed memos between the CIA and UK Intell where the CIA were prompting the UK Intell to get involved in phone tapping and bugging of UN Security Council Members.

Ms Gunn also aware of much more and considered her disclosure of "secrets" to be in the public interest. She also considered this was both illegal and immoral. It is little surprise the Crown Prosecution Service chose not to proceed - no jury would convict her and she was likely to expose still more embarassing news :-)

It is more than clear from the data revealed so far, that the CIA were bugging and tapping the phones of UN members (and other shit) in an attempt to gain advantage on the decision to go to war in Iraq.

This action also illustrates the behaviour of a rogue regime in their attempts to justify and coerce a war agreement out of the UN Security Council. If anything was a "Watergate" - this is it. But have we had a murmer from the US Admin? Nope. This is just another small part of the picture of lying to the masses and proceeding with their own agenda. It is also another reason, that the current US Admin are not trusted either on known/acknowledged agreements/treaties or in any aspect of their dealings with anyone, whether within the US or abroad.

They are barely able to covey any form of information anywhere without lying.

Flotsum has this habit of rising and I think we will be seeing plenty flotsum in the near future :-) All this shit is pathetic and there will be a price at some stage.
