I trust I am correct to interpret all that as heavy irony. - because there is VERY good reason - ranging between LIHOP and MIHOP - to suggest that both the US and UK SIS's were deeply complicit in ALL of those events - or, in the case of the Shah, using every dirty trick in the book to delay what they had long concluded was inevitable since jointly arranging for the overthrow of the first democratically elected government ever in the Middle East and installing their puppet.

I came across a rather good analysis of the judgement and legal arguments that led to it at a blog I follow this morning - Obsolete it's called - left a comment and did a little blog of my own on it too FWIW
