Default UK true to form denies Goldstone's own retraction!
http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011...sticks-by.html

Mud sticks, and so, I guess, does camel dung. Despite Richard Goldstone's virtual mea culpa in a recent Washington Post (see http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011...lible-man.html) and pledge to help nullify the report in the UN, Her Britannic Majesty's Foreign and Commonwealth Office is sticking to the notion that Israel committed war crimes during Operation Cast Lead.


A Foreign Office spokesman is quoted as telling the Jewish Chronicle (http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/47...ldstone-report) that Goldstone's comments in the Washington Post are due to "the process that was set in train by his fact-finding mission" and that since Goldstone hasn't elaborated "on his views on the various other allegations made against Israel in his report," or called for the report's retraction independent investigations of claims against Israel should continue.

Declared the spokesman:

"Allegations of breaches of international humanitarian law made against all parties to the Gaza conflict are not limited to the Goldstone Report, and have arisen from certain other credible organisations.We firmly believe that any and all such allegations must be met with credible and independent investigations by the parties to the conflict."
