Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbek who was turfed out for, among other things, standing up for human rights:
\n“I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine.
\nSo this, I believe, is the true story.”<\/a>

\nJust saw on the telly Kiwi expat (now Beeb announcer) Anita McNaught being interviewed about the kidnap of her cameraman husband in Gaza. Anita was always the most professional TV newsreader-person we had, unflappable and very sharp and mostly wasted in NZ. No wonder the BBC snapped her up.
\nAll of which made it horrible to watch as she was interviewed (on the receiving end for a change), cool and calm and professional as she answered questions about her husband’s likely situation and what was being done about it. All under control – except for her hands. At the bottom of the screen, her fingers were furiously at work, twisting a pen in her hands over and over and over. She knew she was doing it, and clasped her hands together tight to try and stop herself, but the fingers kept twitching. Anita smiled and made sensible comments about the difficulties of the situation, looked tired and calm and on top of things, but there was no way she could stop her hands from betraying her. All that anxiety and fear was leaking out.
\nIt upset me. I think it’s going to be an image I’ll remember for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
