Rusbridger said this evening, on Channel 4 News, that counsel for the A-G would not explain his reasons for seeking the injunction. Again, that's very odd. He must have given reasons to the judge and Rusbridger's people must have argued that those reasons were insufficient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30194186.post-15661134234345636502007-03-06T21:16:00.000+00:002007-03-06T21:16:00.000+00:00presumably becuase the first injunction contains t...presumably becuase the first injunction contains the information being injuncted, and thus for the ag to show it to the gruan, the ag would be in breach of the injunction itself.<BR/><BR/>or, as the gruan hints, they were simply being bullied and the terms of the 1st injunction would not have covered the gruan. ie, the gruan called the ag's bluff and won.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30194186.post-43339451497590571572007-03-06T20:13:00.000+00:002007-03-06T20:13:00.000+00:00This is very odd.

Why could not the Attorney-General's people show the Guardian the first injunction, ask for an undertaking in identical terms, and explain why they were asking for such an undertaking? Could the terms of the original, BBC, injunction have been so specific that even to reveal them would have given the game away?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
