So where is the outcry against this in the media and amongst the great and the good? Confined to the right wing tabloids and a few backbench Tory MPs, that's where.
Why are no leading politicians from any of the three parties speaking out against it? Why are there no indignant opinion columns in the Guardian or the Independent about it? What about all the human rights campaigners (John Piliger, Bianca Jagger, Jemina Khan) who are getting all worked about the Wikileaks bloke? Why are there no public figures campaigning for reform of the Human Rights Act so that this travesty of justice can never happen again?
Could it be that Parliament and the liberal/left consensus actually think that this appalling situation is actually a necessary price to pay for the "benefits" of the Human Rights Act?
