    British govt lawyers get Saville report

    RTÉ News: British govt lawyers get Saville report

    Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has told British Prime Minister Gordon Brown that any delay in publishing the Saville report on Bloody Sunday is unacceptable.

    Mr McGuinness met the Prime Minister in London along with Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams, after the mammoth dossier from Lord Saville was made available to British government lawyers today.

    ...

    SDLP Foyle MP Mark Durkan said Mr Woodward's comments were a clear indication that Lord Saville has now absolutely completed the report from his point of view.

    He repeated that family members do not accept or trust the role of government lawyers, particularly from the Ministry of Defence or MI5, 'checking' the report for human rights infringements on behalf of the Secretary of State.
    It looks as if the british government is going to delay this until after the election giving their lawyers and MI5 time to sanitize it. It should be published immediately. Hopefully it won't be another whitewash although I'm not holding my breath.
    "We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep." - The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1
