Police find body in bag at MI6 man's London flat

[Jan Klimkowski]

At a secret hearing nine days ago, lawyers for MI6 which is headed by Sir John Sawers told Dr Wilcox that the disclosure of details about Mr Williams's work could harm Britain's national interest.Mr Williams, who is believed to have worked closely with the American security services, had flown to the National Security Agency (NSA) the Pentagon's listening post on several occasions and returned from his last trip to the US only weeks before his death in Pimlico, Central London.

Uh - so at face value, the British government's argument is that disclosure of the work undertaken by a British spy with the NSA could harm Britain's national security.

:lol::lol::lol:

Of course the real reasons are, for starters:

i) to prevent disclosure of the extent of illegal covert surveillance of British and American citizens by British and American intelligence;

ii) to prevent the murder of Gareth Williams, quite possibly by British or American assets, from being detailed in public.
