David Cameron "I had no specific information." (About Andy Coulson)

[yellowcanine]

This ranks right up there with "I am not a crook" (Nixon)

Note that Cameron doesn't really answer the question. Just what exactly does the phrase "no specific information" mean? Apparently he had information, just not specific enough for him to act on. So the question is, why didn't he keep asking until he had specific information, one way or the other? Isn't that what a leader does? Cameron may go down over this one. He certainly has lost the moral high ground.

5. becauase he didn't want to know specific information

Knowing that eventually an event like this would occur, he had to be able to deny knowing anything.
