I've been thinking about the whole security breach issue - with 2 sets of top secret documents being left on public transport and then handed in to the media - the first set to the BBC, and the second to a national newspaper. If you ask me, there's no way these were accidents. Think about it...
*imagine yourself on a train...you find yourself a seat, put your bag down, take your coat off, and start sipping your over priced take out coffee. You glance to the seat next to you and see an envelope. You look around to see if it might belong to someone. You see no-one. You cautiously pick up the envelope and have a peek inside. You see two documents stamped Top Secret. On closer inspection you realise that these are pretty serious docs. Now, what to do next. Hand them in to the local authority? Hand them into the train guard? Hand them in to the local police station? Of course you would*
Isn't it interesting that both these docs got handed to the media? I think so. Me thinks someone somewhere is out to discredit the government. Can you blame them?
Now, of course, if I'd found them, I'd have phoned 118118...
118118: Which number do you require?
Rachel: Rupert Murdoch please.
118118: The number will follow.
Rachel: Thanks.
*ring ring.....
Rupert: Hello?
Rachel: Ah, Mr Murdoch, I have something in my hand which I think will interest you...
Rupert: I am a very busy man Rachel...
Rachel: Oh I know, but trust me, this is goooood....2 documents - one detailing the security situation in Iraq, and the other detailing Al-Qaeda's vulnerabilities.
Rupert: Ok, you have my full attention.
Rachel: Good...
(conversation continues, huge financial deal struck)....*
Well, can you blame me? There's a credit crunch on you know...

personally, I'd hand them back to their rightful owner after reading them in detail,and sell my silence/amnesia, the lack of moral fibre is the same, just that I wouldn't want to gamble national security on Murdock's integrity.
How would you find out who the rightful owner was??! Maybe you'd be able to find out from Hazel Blears laptop. Oh right, wait, you can't!
Not having read the docs I can't say that national security would or wouldn't be gambled, but what I do know is that the government is a joke....and I want to spread the love that is laughter far and wide, and as Murdoch's got a pretty wide covering, he'd be the best. Plus I'd get rich. Filthy rich. Very quickly. I might even offer to buy Hazel Blears a new laptop :p
