Adam Werritty's saving grace

Jane Merrick and James Hanning, writing in The Independent on Sunday publish some interesting assertions about Adam Werritty, the dodgy-sounding geezer who got Liam Fox into so much trouble:

Adam Werritty, the man at the centre of the Liam Fox cash-for-access scandal, has been involved in an audacious plot to topple Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it was claimed last night. 

They say it like it was a bad thing.

How refreshing to see somebdy standing up for bloodthisty serial human rights abusers. I'm especially fond of the ones with lots of oil and uranium-enriching centrifuges. The article continues:

Mr Werritty, 33, has been debriefed by MI6 about his travels and is so highly regarded by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad – who thought he was Mr Fox's chief of staff – that he was able to arrange meetings at the highest levels of the Israeli government, multiple sources have told The IoS.

A fine compliment to Mr Werrity, if true, but I hope and trust that it isn't, and that plonkers like Werritty aren't really Mossad's first line of defence in the battle against the people who want to wipe Israel off the map.
