I suppose that we should be asking Mr Brown if Binyam made it anywhere near the agenda when Bush came to town? Stupid question really. It seems that Bush was having an important meeting with Rupert Murdoch while Brown made the the tea.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how the word 'democracy' has dropped out of their vocabulary while talking about their foreign policy these days? I suppose that even the likes of Bush and Brown are not that tactless given all those very public embarrassments like Guantanimo, Abu Ghraib, Rendition,Waterboarding, Bhagram Airbase, Terrorism act ect.......
