Jack Straw has finally hit the road and been forced out of his job as Foreign Secretary.
Straw has been removed from his post just eighteen months after Craig Murray began his high-profile campaign to expose the Foreign Secretary’s complicity in torture, and almost exactly a year after Craig’s audacious challenge in Blackburn. The move has come as a shock to many in the media, but will be less of a surprise to those familiar with the growing scandals over extraordinary rendition and torture.
Update (08/05/06): Speculation about the reasons for Straw’s removal is spreading in the media with briefings from different quarters.
