A remarkable bit of news from the "Teflon Man Whitewash" came to my attention rather late this evening but you can read about it here on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation's Online Pravda Store.

It seems that although Jack "The English Are Not A Race Worth Saving" Straw popped in to testify that the decision to go to war was "the hardest he had ever taken" the picture painted by his legal advisers is a little diferent

His Chief Legal Advisor told him it would amount to an act of aggression and Straw replied that he was "being dogmatic" and that "international law was pretty vague".

When advised that the proposed military action was not legal i seems Straw's attitude was that as Home Secretary he had often benn told something was illegal, had done it anyway "and was then able to win his argument in the courts".

Hardly surprising seeing that Derry Irvine the Lord Chancellor was inviting those up or promtion within the judicial system to pay for £1,000 a plate dinners to fill labour coffers. The same sort of dinners the Welsh Rugby Union seems to have loaned its email adress and phone number for the acceptance of RSVP's.

But it will be interesting to see how Teflon Tony wriggles out of these statements and their damning condemnation of the cabinet's attitude to the law.
