Les Britanniques ont un dossier difficile \u00e0 vendre, aujourd’hui \u00e0 Paris, \u00e0 une r\u00e9union de l’OCDE<\/a>. Il s’agit bien s\u00fbr du dossier de l’interruption<\/a> de l’enqu\u00eate sur les contrats Yamamah<\/em>, devenus depuis le scandale Yamamah<\/em>. Le dossier est d’autant plus difficile \u00e0 vendre qu’il n’est pas authentifi\u00e9 dans sa version initiale par la signature du MI6, le service de renseignement britannique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tC’est bien entendu le Guardian<\/em> qui r\u00e9v\u00e8le la chose aujourd’hui<\/a>. Le chef du MI6, John Scarlett, a refus\u00e9 d’authentifier la version du gouvernement selon laquelle l’interruption de l’enqu\u00eate est justifi\u00e9e par le fait que cette enqu\u00eate mena\u00e7ait la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale. C’\u00e9tait la raison que Lord Goldsmith, Attorney General, avait donn\u00e9e le 15 d\u00e9cembre en annon\u00e7ant l’arr\u00eat de l’enqu\u00eate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe OECD has demanded an explanation of the government’s decision to abruptly close down an inquiry which was investigating secret payments made to Saudi royals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhitehall officials will be questioned by 35 other governments at the Paris meeting, which can \u00a0\u00bbname and shame\u00a0\u00bb Britain if it finds against them. As part of the government’s preparations to provide a justification to the OECD, MI6 was asked to sign up to a dossier which made the claim that MI6 endorsed Mr Blair’s national security claim, according to those who have seen it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhen it was sent to MI6 headquarters last week, Mr Scarlett refused. Officials made it clear there were differences between the intelligence agencies and the government over the language used by Lord Goldsmith. A source said that Lord Goldsmith’s claims to parliament in December contained quite a degree of conjecture. One official said there was nothing to suggest that the Saudis had actually warned if you continue with this inquiry, we will cut off intelligence.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbAsked if the security and intelligence agencies objected to claims that they endorsed the attorney general’s statement, an official replied: Exactly. The language has now been changed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe dispute echoes the intelligence row about sexing-up’ the Iraq arms dossier, when Mr Scarlett, then head of the Joint Intelligence Committee, was persuaded to endorse false government claims that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Sources close to the intelligence agencies say Mr Scarlett was unwilling to again provide cover for ministers by endorsing another set of controversial government claims.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tL’information du Guardian<\/em> tombe \u00e0 pic pour rendre encore plus difficile la plaidoirie des Britanniques devant l’OCDE, et enrager<\/a> un peu plus la City \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 effectivement divulgu\u00e9e dans ce but et montre, par la facilit\u00e9 des fuites provenant des services de renseignement, les d\u00e9g\u00e2ts faits au sein de ces services par la fa\u00e7on dont Blair les a manipul\u00e9s durant la campagne de pr\u00e9paration \u00e0 la guerre contre l’Irak. Comme nous comprenons le parcours de cette fuite, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cid\u00e9 du c\u00f4t\u00e9 du gouvernement, apr\u00e8s le refus de signer du MI6, de changer le libell\u00e9 du rapport pour ne pas faire appara\u00eetre ce refus. Furieuses, des sources \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur du MI6 ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de donner l’information au Guardian<\/em> pour qu’elle soit connue lors de la r\u00e9union de la commission de l’OCDE charg\u00e9e des affaires de corruption. R\u00e9sultat direct du gouvernement de Tony Blair, on est d\u00e9sormais bien loin du Right or wrong, my country<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Guardian<\/em>, quant \u00e0 lui, est d\u00e9sormais le relais incontournable<\/a> de la contestation des agissements de BAE et du gouvernement dans le domaine de la corruption des march\u00e9s d’armement. C’est toute une structure de contestation de l’information officielle de l’\u00e9quipe Blair qui est d\u00e9sormais en place et qui montre une r\u00e9elle efficacit\u00e9. Le dossier Yamamah<\/em> n’est pas clos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
