What the papers don't say: Not many news stories around today about David Shayler,
the former MI5 officer currently standing trial at the Old Bailey on charges
under the Official Secrets Act.
But Google News' list of recent 'Shayler'
news stories speaks volumes about the UK government's relationship with
the media and, perhaps, the truth.
'After the judge's ruling on Monday, several articles detailing Mr Shayler's
anticipated evidence - and the government's efforts to keep it secret - were
withdrawn from newspaper websites across the country.' [The
Age].
