http://www.craigmurray.co.uk/ Craig Murray (born October, 1958) is a British dissident and formerly the United Kingdom's Ambassador to Uzbekistan. While in office, he accused the Karimov administration of human rights abuses, a step which, he argues, was against the wishes of the British government and the reason for his removal.
Murray complained to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in November 2002, January or early February 2003, and in June 2004 that intelligence linking the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan to al-Qaeda, suspected of being gained through torture, was unreliable, immoral, and illegal. He described Her Majesty's Government as "selling our souls for dross". He was subsequently removed from his ambassadorial post on October 14, 2004.
