Jack Straw - off message?
Almost spat my coffee out when I read this yesterday about the protest-crushing in Uzbekistan:
In an interview with the BBC's The World This Weekend yesterday, Mr Straw said: "The situation is very serious, there has been a clear abuse of human rights, a lack of democracy and a lack of openness."
Mr Straw also called on the Uzbekistan government to allow independent observers, such as the Red Cross, to visit Andijan.
But asked if Britain would support an opposition movement, he said: "It's for the people to decide on a change of regime, not outsiders."
Isn't it funny how your attitudes towards dictators change when you're allowed to use an airbase in their country?
