It's not a coincidence effusive praise in The Hague by the secret services is presented as an intelligence investigation will be carried out - in secret

was unprecedented, and far less than real time. Never before has a British Minister of Foreign Affairs welcomed both publicly in the secret services of Britain.

Speaking to an audience of securocrats in the country, including the heads of MI6, MI5 and GCHQ, William Hague, describes the role of vital importance. British intelligence officials have been lives saved, and more recently in Libya, he said. His dedication and professionalism have "few equals, and perhaps not the same thing, one of its counterparts."

So why did he feel the need to shower spies and spies of the country with such approval, with such enthusiasm, even extravagant? There were many clues in his speech at the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday. "I know," he said, "that their values ??are the best values ??in the UK." However, Hague said, his work until "some of the difficult ethical and legal issues" is as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. He has repeatedly stressed the need for "public confidence" in their work.

MI6 and MI5 have been shaken by criticism, particularly in The Guardian - but not just here - the involvement of British security and intelligence agents in the practice of the U.S. " extraordinary rendition ", that is, the secret and illegal transportation of detainees to prisons where they were abused and tortured.

Hague said in his speech that "the high intake of these allegations undermined the British position in the world as a country that respects international law and torture hate." The problem is that we do not speak of mere allegations. British involvement in activities that lead to abuse and torture of suspected terrorists and others at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere, is now well documented.

These facts were light, mainly due to persistent questioning by some journalists and some members who refused to be evicted from the fragrance of officials and ministers (especially labor) . The ministers said since they were not informed by the officers what was happening. Otherwise, why does the incoming coalition government last year feel compelled to publish "Revised Guidelines" for British intelligence agents, including the armed forces, detainees and interrogation of suspects abroad?

also insist that MI6 was specific ministerial approval for deliveries. Jack Straw was Foreign Minister at the time. Straw and everyone - ministers, former ministers and spies alike - said he would not comment until they give evidence of the investigation initiated by the coalition government to study "allegations" of misconduct by MI6 and MI5

The problem is that research, conducted by Sir Peter Gibson, a judge of the appellate court before which was also an official "Commissioner" to oversee intelligence agencies, you will hear all the information gathered by MI6 and MI5 secret hearings. So how will the public know that intelligence agencies were doing and if the Ministers have approved?

In an attempt to stop this kind of disclosure - or "claims" that the government has - to see daylight again, the government has made proposals as Orwellian "Justice and paper safety green. "Under the proposals, no information gathered by law enforcement or intelligence can never be found by the court. Instead, well-vetted" special advocates "see all" sensitive material "with the judge privately.
