SAS soldier needs our help...

Here is someone else who could do with his defence team being briefed about 9/11. I wonder if perchance he has a relative in David Ray Griffin!:

Hi Justin

This is a good post and we should do what we can.

Over the last decade the government has increasingly used the civil courts and injunctions to silence its critics. If this soldier had divulged operational details and plans about SAS activity, then he may conceivably have damaged national security. Speaking out against an illegal war is a matter of conscience, and to say that it compromises the SAS's operational capability is utterly preposterous.

The government is currently trying the same thing with David Shayler who, unlike this soldier, did not sign a civil confidentiality contract. They have already prosecuted him under the Official Secrets Act. Not content with having put him in prison twice, they are now reeactivating a civil action against him. In September 1997 government lawyers took out a temporary injunction against David and the media, specifically the Mail on Sunday newspaper. While they dropped the injunction against the newspaper (too big and scary), they stayed the action against David.

We tried to settle it a few years ago, but they refused. It was convenient for them to use the injunction to frighten the media and publishers away from employing him - if fact, they even used it to prevent the publication of his novel! However, since he has become politically active again and is trying to publicise the 911 campaign, they have decided to reactivate it. They want to drag him through the courts again and sue him for huge damages. Can they get any more corrupt?
