Caro João, a vantagem n'"essa antiga e sólida democracia" é que os jornalistas questionam todos os assuntos. Sem relação com um escrutínio semelhante em Portugal, portanto.

Pela positiva:
Can we see all the documents, memos and e-mails supporting the Attorney General's advice on the legality of the war in Iraq?

But some of the other documents have been withheld on the grounds of professional legal privilege which protects disclosure of advice between the Attorney General and his client, in this case the Government.
Pelo contrário:

This information is not in the public interest.
