I don't know about you but I find the lengths to which the Blair government is willing to go to shield the actions of British "merchant of death" BAE from any sort of scrutiny whatsoever absolutely awe inspiring. They ruthless crushed any attempts by the legal authorities to investigate allegations of bribery and corruption in BAE's deal to sell EuroFighters to Saudi Arabia. Now that the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has stepped in to see if the UK might be in violation of its treaty obligations related to corrupt practices the UK government is trying to out the OECD's anti-bribery head, Mark Pieth, claiming that his is to "outspoken" or honest or investigative or something.
