Craig Murray's Blog

The Angels post on extraordinary rendition (Nacht und Nebel) has been put back in its place in the files; CM was blogging on extraordinary rendition and censorship, but Iain Dale's commenters on the post he (Dale) put about Craig Murray's blog being unreachable, say it is a server failure because of a spam attack. A commenter called Bob Piper, who says he suspects he has the same server, is up and running, though CM is not. Iain Dale has posted no further news on any answer to his earlier today email to CM asking where his blog has gone.

Update.
CM's blog is running again. It's usually best to ask where a journalist and author's blog is, as Iain Dale did, and keep asking, as some of us did, till it returns, if there is a break in normal communications for (in professional blog terms) quite a long time. Regrettably the time when absence by a journalist critical of the Executive could be ignored is gone- and concern does not necessarily indicate conspiracyloon paranoia, but that a lot of civil and political liberties always taken for granted as integral to our culture are gone now; and their demise has not left a vacuum but is filled by repressive legislation often well-analyzed and criticized by Craig Murray.

As he remarks, the divide in our political culture is no longer centred on economics, and right and left, but on libertarianism and authoritarianism, and right and wrong.
