The problem with Secretary of State Peter Hain’s repeated insistence that he doesn’t need to say anything more, or that “The Stormont decision by the Public Prosecution Service is a matter for the judiciary and is not a matter for the politicians”, however emphatic he is, is that all of the theories presented that explain the decision involve political interference.. oh and no-one actually believes him. Only by being open about that decision, and clarifying what public interest is being served, can the distinct whiff of conspiracy be dispelled.
