The family of Jean Charles de Menezes, the innocent man who was
gunned down by British police in the wake of the London bombings,
has today accused the BBC of aiding a cover up after plans to
film a politically sensitive docu-drama about his murder were
unceremoniously dropped. The filiming of a docu-drama about the
7/7 London bombers has also been suddenly abandoned.
The London
Guardian reports that the BBC shelved both
projects because, despite unearthing "difficult or dark"
new evidence, it claims it has given the events enough coverage
on news and current affairs programming.
But de Menezes cousin Alex Pereira said:
The move is indeed a strange one given that the
BBC had, according to the award-winning producer of the project,
previously been touting the drama as "the most important television
commission of the year".
So did the government have a hand to play in the decision as
Pereira suggests? It is not so far fetched to imagine so, particularly
given that the BBC has been on a tight leash ever since the 45
minute warning revelations and the dodgy Iraq dossier business
in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq.
The government has certainly gone to great lengths in the past
to cover up the murder of de Menezes. It would be no surprise
if this was a continuation of that policy.
It is also telling that MI5 is currently bracing itself for further
disclosures over tube bombing intelligence "failures"
linked to 7/7. These revelations have seemingly forced Dame Eliza
Manningham-Buller, the director-general of MI5, to step down in
April, a move some suggest is a pre-emptive attempt by the security
services to avoid embarrassment.

Last weekend it was revealed that contrary to the official line,
MI5 had detailed
knowledge of the lead bomber, Mohammad Sidique Khan,
and had been tracking him for two years before the bombings took
place. These revelations are interesting given that we have shown
the bombers were more than likely unwitting
patsies. Khan's conversations were taped and his
car was bugged previous to the bombings, why go to such lengths
to keep track of a man who was at the same time deemed not to
be "top priority".
In December last year the Menezes family lost
their High Court battle over a decision not to charge
any police officers in connection with the shooting. Indeed, some
of the officers involved have since been
promoted (See also Police
commander in Menezes case seeks promotion) and have
killed
again.
One officer was even rewarded with a new job as a sky
marshall trainer. The officer was picked because
top brass say he has "proven ability to act swiftly and decisively"
in emergencies." Yeah by shooting an innocent man in the
face eight times, the ideal role model for 'shoot first ask questions
later' cops everywhere.
We have previously covered the catalogue
of cover ups concerning the Menezes shooting, including
the fact that the officers knew
he was not a bomber, the faking
of tube logs, lying
about the existence of cctv footage and even
erasing
some parts of it, as well as
putting out all manner of false
information.
Despite having knowingly lied about the events and further attempted
to misdirect the public and cover up the incident, Met chief Ian
Blair has also escaped
any punishment.
The government does not want any further disclosure on this issue
because it is happy to let the public believe that targeted assassinations
on British soil by Israeli
trained death squads are now the norm and there's
not a damn thing we can do about it apart from sit down and shut
up. Otherwise we just might become the next target of her Majesty's
secret death squad.
