Stacy Summary: What a farce this so-called democracy is. So easy to create ‘innocence’ for the likes of Blair, Brooks and Blankfein through fake inquiries and Senate ‘investigations;’ while creating illusion of guilt for the poor, the political and the practical.

Tony Blair advised Rebekah Brooks to set up ‘Hutton style’ inquiry which would ‘clear her’

According to Brooks’s note, Blair advised her to set up an “independent” inquiry, suggesting it could have “outside counsel, Ken Macdonald [the former director of public prosecutions], a great and good type”.

He said the inquiry would be “Hutton style” – a reference to Lord Hutton’s inquiry into the death of David Kelly – and would “clear” her, but warned that “shortcomings” would have to be accepted as a result of the report.

I love democracy!
