Prisoners Diplomatic status to be questioned - is the MSM up to it ?

Dubyas Washroom Assistant is in Europe this week. Now that the world knows the prisoners seized without uniforms and travel papers, the "rendered" , the kidnapped were ferried about with diplomatic status.

Let's see who in the MSM steps up to the plate and asks the lady who launched an oil tanker in her name if this is true.

She can say No.

She can say Yes.

..or she can equivocate, repeating the cocky mantra they have been using all week, about breaking no laws, US, international etc.,

Those little old black books, or the cream and green printed credit card sized plastic chip bearing photo ID cards will no doubt get a closer look wherever they appear.

Guradian today report says "UK 'breaking law' over CIA secret flights " and quotes All party group of worried MP's Andrew Tyrie, the Tory MP and chairman of the parliamentary group....

"By apparently assisting the US in the practice of extraordinary rendition, the UK and the west are losing the moral high ground so valuable to foreign policy since the end of the cold war."

But not illegal as the US lawyers claim if those guys had diplomatic immunity / status. Curiously the Guradian had the information about their status.

The Daily Telegraph - with no doubt good FO contacts carefully reports..

Mr Hadley foreshadowed Miss Rice's riposte, saying: "We respect the sovereignty of those countries with whom we co-operate."

This is seen as diplomatic code for saying that anything the CIA gets up to in Europe is done with the permission of the host country.

Could be an exciting day, Saddam appears in court to delay things forever and the bearded jersey is set to get into web/mobile publishing with NTL.

Monday 2200 GMT nobody has asked the US State Dept or Condi about diplomatic passports - Hmmmmmm.
