This one is aimed at me

In a surprising move the Iraq Inquiry was blacked out for the rest of its sessions just as Hans Blick, the only influential person who tried to stop the war still living, was about to be interviewed.

With the blink of an eyelid Blick was no more. All assembled at the session were told to leave and the Blick interview was held in total transparent secrecy.

However, your intrepid reporter, aware that such an eventuality might occur, has access to the secret proceedings, through hidden microphones which are impossible to locate.

Open government does not allow me to report anything and I am followed everywhere so I cannot whisper information into attentive ears.

'What do you expect' I was told 'you think you can just walk in here and listen to the truth! You think national security can be undermined by a knowledgeable, well informed journalist!'

So I am left with coded innuendo and crafty double meaning. Messages between the lines and cryptic clues.

There is no chance at all of a war crimes tribunal, such a suggestion is about as stupid as expecting an England goalkeeper to score an own goal in the World Cup.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
