BAE redux

Remember the inquiry into UK's Serious Fraud Office inquiry into allegations of corruption involved in the deal between the British arms merchant and Saudi Arabia for the sale of EuroFighter; the one that had to be called off after Tony and his Cronies started running around with handkerchiefs on their collective heads screaming "National Security! National Security!"?

Now Claire Short has revealed that the SFO has evidence that the sale of advanced radar systems to the government of Tanzania by the selfsame BAE was corrupt. They would like to see someone charged in that case but as yet, alas, no one has been.

I hope he enjoys his legacy, that Mr. Blair.
