Brief background to OSA trial: On 25 April two men will appear in court charged under the official secrets Act. David Keogh is accused of passing a document to Leo O'Connor, who used to work for the former Labour Northampton South MP Anthony Clarke, in 2004. Mr O'Connor is charged under Section 5 of the act with receiving a document without lawful authority. The trial follows the report by the Daily Mirror on 22 November 2005, of a memo of a meeting between Blair and Bush in 2004. The Mirror claimed that Bush proposed bombing Al-jazerra. The prosecution wants the trial held in secret and has made application to foreign secretary, Jack Straw.
