Your Help Needed - Reveal Torture to Stop It
On Tuesday 10 March the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights will discuss whether or not to hear my evidence on the UK government's policy of using intelligence from torture. They discussed whether to hear my evidence on 3 March but failed to reach a conclusion.
The government is lobbying hard for my exclusion. I need everybody to send an email to jchr@parliament.uk to urge that I should be allowed to give evidence. Just a one-liner would be fine. If you are able to add some comment on the import of my evidence, or indicate that you have heard me speak or read my work, that may help. Please copy your email to craigjmurray@tiscali.co.uk.
Please also pass on this plea to anyone you can and urge them to act. Help from other bloggers in posting this appeal would be much appreciated.'

Could you please tell me why H Governent is lobbying hard so that a former member of our Diplomatic Corps will not be permitted to share his insight and experience with your committee?
Have they something to hide for, they are acting as thought it were so.

I've also emailed Faux Cu. It's the fact that they're attempting to silence one of their (ex) own that troubles me too.
Why is it just we two?
I've no idea at all Faux Cu. Obviously our freedoms aren't too important to many.
This is the thin edge of the wedge as you say because Craig was 'one of them' until he was brought home. I think somewhere on his blog he explains all.
