So, you're an ambasador from the UK to an eastern European country that is basically so far east it's in Asia. The head guy of the country is down with the War Against Terror (tWAT) and he's doing what he can (you're told) to help. You're a good patriot and loyal to the Queen, so you dig in to your new post.
However, after just a month's time, you come to realize how cocked up western policy is over there in Eastern Europe/Western Asia, and you begin to say exactly that to the home office. See, it turns out that, among many other things the West has gotten wrong over there in that country, it turns out the head guy is NOT down with tWAT and, in fact, practices terrorism on his own people. Renditions, tortures, bodies showing up horribly mutilated, etc.
You start speaking out. The UK government essentially fires you for doing so. You speak out some more, write a book, then the UKG tries to force you to edit your book. You are being attacked on all sides by people claiming you don't want to help the West win tWAT. You publish a web site and on it you post various PDF files that document all of your communications with the home office, in sense proving much of the bad stuff you said happened in said country.
Now you've gotten a C&D letter from the UKG claiming that the docs you posted are all copyright, the UKG and thusly can't be posted or published without their approval. The thing is, there is no profit in your pocket from the posting of these docs, so they don't violate anyone's copyright. Still, it's the UKG that is threatening you and they obviously have a few lawyers on their side. So, what do you do? You ask the web for help.
The thing is, this isn't you--this is former UK ambassador Craig Murray and what I've just described to you is what happened to him and now he needs our help in making sure his docs stay out there and available for the world to see and read. See, the situtation is beyond screwed up and information on the truth needs to be protected and disseminated as much as possible.
So, please, if you're a webmaster, do your part and host these files on your site or help seed the torrent. The files take up a lousy 12.5 megs of space, so it doesn't require much from you. This isn't about protecting Britain's state secrets--this is about information staying free for all.
Oh yeah, AND exposing the really idiotic choices our leaders are making in the interest of protecting us.
So, grab the files in a 12.5 meg zip [http://stuff.thepete.com/craig_murray_documents.zip|here] or grab them in two chunks [http://www.box.net/public/k82reg73ue|here] (4.5mb) and [http://www.box.net/public/tinggh7hm7|here] (8mb) or grab the torrent [http://dahrjamailiraq.com/torrents/craig_murray_documents.torrent|here] (I recommend Azureus for the torrent).
Special thanks to the good blokes at http://Blairwatch.co.uk for emailing everyone on their "I'd Publish the Al Jazeera Documents" mailing list about this. I'm happy to help in anyway I can.
