Blah Blah Flowers

Clare Short reveals the UK intelligence service bugged the office of the UN Secretary General. Yet again the redoubtable Ms. Short crawls from under her rock to insist that Tony Blair was personally involved in the latest Iraq war intelligence case du jour. What's next? Blair was the second gunman on the grass knoll? Geoff Hoon was the cameraman on the faked moon landing films? Tony Blair should consider himself lucky, if this information was going to come out, and in this case it's not Clare Short making a new accusation but confirming what the GCHQ mole had said, then he's lucky that it's Short and not someone with an ounce of credibility. Every time she opens her mouth, not only is she condemning the Government but moreover her role in it. She quit her job, eventually, because she didn't think Tony Blair was interested in helping poor Iraqi babies. Yet her morals weren't outraged by, in this case, a breaking of international law, by bugging the Secretary General of the UN.
