Oh that exemption. Well yea I agree with you, that part was dubious, but as I have stated before, the whole case was politicaly motivated to target Blair and his goverment, not to fight "corruption".
If it had been about corruption, then where are the trials of conservative politicans and backers during the Maggie and Major area? Why no investigations of all the weapons sales to Saudi Arabia during the 1980s, because I bet there were huge kickbacks given then too, and BAE was only one of many. Sorry this was a political witchhunt pure and simple.
