Radio report from Blackburn election campaign

National Public Radio(US)- Britain's Straw Faces a Challenge over Iraq: Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray is running against Foreign Secretary Jack Straw for Parliament. Murray was removed from his post in October after criticizing U.K. security services' use of data obtained by torture by Uzbek forces. Murray is running on an anti-Iraq war platform, a subject both major parties have tried to ignore.
