Political capital

The despicable game of making political capital out of the murder of innocents has begun in earnest. In fairness to Charles Clarke, here, at least he admits that ID cards wouldn't have prevented the atrocities yesterday. Empty headed media pundits, politicians, campaigners and PR merchants of all brands are scrambling for media exposure to enlighten us as to how their cause is so true, in the light of the bombings. They, as well as the terrorists, should be starved of the publicity.
