Jack Straw, so called Justice Minister, denies that he had any foreknowledge of the arrest of Damian Green.
Jack Straw denied directly to the BBC in the documentary “The Ambassador’s Last Stand”, and denied to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, that he had any part in the false accusations laid against me or in my removal as Ambassador for raising human rights concerns. Yet, as detailed in Murder in Samarkand, I have obtained documents in Jack Straw’s own handwriting, directing the process, and he held at least three meetings with Sir John Kerr to organise it.
On being sacked, I very openly leaked a number of government documents concerning UK policy, the use of torture material by our intelligence services, and the government’s attempts to frame me. Most of these documents were classified more highly than the documents leaked to Damian Green, like this one for example:

Yet when I leaked a number of highly classified documents, openly on the internet with my name and address, did the police come knocking at my door? No, they did not. They consulted Home Secretary John Reid, who consulted Foreign Secretary Jack Straw. They concluded that they should seek to kill the story, and not generate publicity by arresting me.
Does anybody really believe that Ministers decided whether someone as obscure as I should be arrested, but were not consulted on whether Damian Green should be arrested?
Jack Straw is a serial liar. Do not believe him.
You are very restrained in limiting your accuation to Jack Straw … surely there is sufficient evidence to level the same accusation at the entire government ?
Jacqui Smith's body language on 'The Andrew Marr Show' this morning was sufficient in this case.
Jacqui Smith on 'The Andrew Marr Show' this morning made me want to spit. What is it about this bunch of Nu Lab women that makes them look alike? I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's something to do with 'hard-boiled and insincere'.
I'm having problems logging in, here.
Good to see you back Craig.
very difficult to post here ; XX
that was 5th attempt .
Posted a link to this blog at Gdn CIF blog on Green by Henry Porter .
What worries me is that the backlash to events like this tends to be partisan – hence the bony finger pointing at New Labour etc.
Anybody with an ounce of nouse will see through this as a ruse to discredit one lot of criminals to boost the appeal of their subsequent boot fillers.
Those who enthuse thus are either cheerleaders for the two party dictatorship or incredibly naive.
Well done, and thank you, Craig. Couldn't agree more about Straw.
I already know that Jack Straw finds it difficult to tell the truth.
I have been writing to him time and time again to ask him why the government allowed an American psychologist who advocated pedophilia to influence a government consultation on family law in 2005 and he could not give me a decent answer at all, all I got back was a letter full of spin. I’m really fed up of Jack Straw, I don’t think anyone who thought that pedophiles rights come before the safety of their victims is fit to have anything at all to do with family law. Jack Straw evidentally disagrees with me on this point. What a hypocrite he is, shedding crocodile tears over baby P, it made me feel like throwing something at the telly.
