BAE can run but it can't hide

They are paid to know things like this. It's their job. So why is MI6, the super secret British intelligence service, telling us that an investigation into alleged kickbacks in the BAE deal to sell Saudi Arabia EuroFighters posed no threat to national security. This supposed threat was ostensibly the reason that the SFO inquiry into the deal was abruptly cancelled by the government as the Saudis were said to be threatening to call a halt to intelligence cooperation if the inquiry went forward.

Tony wouldn't be lying to us (again), would he? I am offering 5 - 1 on that he ends up on the BAE board.
