Craig Murray accuses Straw of "pious hypocrisies" over Uzbekistan
The Sunday Telegraph - Straw accused of 'pious hypocrisies' over Uzbekistan: Britain's former ambassador to Uzbekistan has accused Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, of "pious hypocrisies" over his statements condemning the shootings of up to 500 anti-government demonstrators by troops in the Uzbek capital.
Craig Murray, who quit the Foreign Office last year after claiming that it was complicit in the Uzbek government's human rights abuses, said that Mr Straw had issued "platitudes" rather than a proper call for reform.
