Wikileaks viser sin berettigelse med den første alvorlige danske sag

Den danske regering spillede dobbeltspil i sagen om fangetransporter af formodede terrorister over dansk luftrum og anvendelse af grønlandske lufthavne.

Det viser Wikileaks-dokumenter, som Politiken er kommet i besiddelse af.

Siger en ting, gør det modsatte
I 2008 lovede den danske regering Folketinget at undersøge, om CIA havde anvendt dansk luftrum til hemmelige fangetransporter af formodede terrorister.
Men danske topembedsmænd fortalte USA's ambassadør, at den danske regering ikke ønskede svar, men derimod at sagen skulle dø i stilhed.

Som det hedder i et af i alt 4 Wikileaks-dokumenter, der refererer til sagen:
"Privately, Danish officials have made clear their interest in making this issue go away as quickly and quietly as possible. PM National Security Advisor Thomas Ahrenkiel and MFA Undersecretary Michael Zilmer-Johns told us separately that the controversy surrounding the film has put the government under considerable pressure and that they are working hard to calm the situation and avoid a mandatory investigation in parliament.Zilmer-Johns noted that "we have been through this before" and stated flatly that the Danish government doesn´t require anything from the U.S. on this -- for now, anyway. In an unrelated meeting with the Ambassador January 31, Danish intelligence and security (PET) chief Jakob Scharf appeared unconcerned by the story."

Og senere i samme Wikileaks-dokument hedder det:
"The Danish government clearly shares our desire to get past this latest flare-up of
the overflights/renditions issue and together we will work to avoid keeping the story alive in the media. If the government prevails in blocking an inquiry and satisfying the Greenlanders (FM Moller reportedly called Greenland PM Hans COPENHAGEN 00000038 002 OF 002 Enoksen to assure him of the Danish government´s plans to review the matter), then this controversy could be over within a few days. If not, such an investigation could prove an unhelpful distraction for months to come."

Går sagen i sig selv om et par dage?
Statsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen håber tilsyneladende som sin forgænger, at sagen "could be over within a few days":

- Jeg kommenterer ikke på lækkede papirer. Det gør jeg ikke. Den sag er undersøgt, og den tidligere udenrigsminister har givet svar i Folketinget, siger statsministeren ifølge DR.

Hvilken pille tager du nu?
