"Was the arrest of one of Britain's leading politicians, possibly a future minister, aimed at sending a message to lesser people in the country to close their eyes, ears and mouths?"
"The arrest and interrogation of Damian Green, one of Britain's leading opposition politicians, by the counter-terrorism police (November 27, 2008) on 'suspicion of conspiring to commit misconduct in a public office' is an extraordinary event. Counter-terrorism officers searched his homes and offices in London and his constituency. He was questioned for nine hours and released on bail without charge, but must return next February for further questioning. The police action happened when the world's attention was focused on the terrorist attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai." "Green says it is his job as an opposition politician to hold the government to account and he has every intention of continuing to do so."
