That's how grubby little deals work isn't it and that's the risk the, often desperate, people who enter into them take. If any of this is true, maybe Brown (who must be pretty sure he and his cohorts are getting booted out at the next election anyway) calculated that it'd be worth the risk. He's desperate enough to do or say virtually anything and we all know how poor his calculations have been over the years don't we!... As has been said, despite all their rhetoric opposing the release, the US authorities have very probably made similar strategic calculations and decided it was in their best interests too.
