That was never going to happen because, as a previous Hutton revealed 
in a report, the Security Service welcome RIP having played a large 
part in writing it. I did ask how big a part Liberty played in writing 
it and the silence was deafening.

The whole thing is designed to obscure what is going on. As Home 
Secretaries are fond of saying, they must have something to hide if 
they don't answer questions about what they are doing.

Of course the people most keen not to tell us plebs what is going on 
are probably the likes of British Telecom, Thus, Virgin and the rest of 
them. They undoubtedly don't want their customers to know how in bed 
with the forces of darkness they are and how much they are shitting on 
their customers. They certainly have something to fear and so are 
hiding their activities.
