My apologies to Jacqui Smith

Earlier today I blogged about the seemingly odd decision of Jacqi Smith, the personification of the Peter Principle, to ban Geert Wilders from entering the UK whilst allowing Ibrahim Moussawi to return. I thought this was odd bearing in mind Ibrahim Moussawi's connections to Hezb'allah.

I have just read that our Labour government in its wisdom has decided to re-establish

"contacts with the political wing of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah.

...

It comes about 10 months after Hezbollah signed a unity accord in Lebanon and joined the government.

Only last year, the government put Hezbollah's military wing on a list of proscribed organisations over its alleged training of insurgents in Iraq.

"We are exploring certain contacts at an official level with Hezbollah's political wing, including MPs," said a spokesperson for the Foreign Office.

...

The spokesperson said Britain would continue to have no contact with Hezbollah's military wing. "

Ah so the decision makes sense now, Ibrahim Moussawi is only linked to the political wing of Hezb'allah not the military wing. I am still not sure how that explains why we are letting in a man who describes Jews as "a lesion on the forehead of history" and has happily explained the religious basis for suicide attacks, but then I am not as intelligent as the former Home Economics teacher* currently occupying the position of Home Secretary.


* Wikipedia now shows Jacqui Smith as having taught Economics rather than Home Economics, are they right or has the truth been polished on Wikipedia? If someone can give a definitive answer I will correct the above assertion.
