Ming Campbell calls on Attorney General to come clean over Al Yamamah
June 9, 2007
Following the reports in The Guardian about the Attorney General (Lord Goldsmith) and the failure to disclose secret payments to a Saudi prince to an OECD anti-corruption probe into the Al Yamamah arms deal, Liberal Democrat Ming Campbell has called on Lord Goldsmith to explain what has really happened:
If it is true that information about payments made to Prince Bandar was not given to the OECD, then that is an allegation of the utmost seriousness. It would be unsupportable for Britain to sign up to an international agreement on bribery and then fail to honour its obligations when an investigation comes too close to home.

It’s time Blair was caught with his pants down before he retires into obscurity and gets away with high crimes and misdemeanours for ever. History will not be kind to him but he should surely be accountable for his part in the biggest crime of the last hundred years i.e. the war in Iraq in which he was complicit with Bush as a major player.This arms deal with the Saudis is all part of the same corruption.
