Straw good on spin, bad on justice

I have a new piece on the Index on Censorship website about how Jack Straw's ministry of justice held on to a list of possible sites for Titan jails until it had briefed the media that there wouldn't be any. The MoJ is also bottom of the league for responding to FOI requests, according to its own figures.

On Newsnight last night Michael Crick was talking about Straw as a possible caretaker PM if Gordon Brown is forced out. Surely things aren't that bad.
