From time to time different embassies contact us about views we express here on different issues or because they want to brief us. That suggests they take account of what is said in the Chamber and that is why I am supportive of the views expressed about yesterday's atrocity, the assassination of an invalid cleric. What worries me particularly when I listen to statements from those embassies' home states is that they can be quite ambiguous. For the United States, in particular, to use a word like "uncomfortable" about that terrible atrocity is certainly prostituting language as I understand it.
