watched that first time- last weekend - the basis was that because the MI6-CIA request was immoral and unethical the rresearcher blew the whistle - but this was before whistleblower protection laws. I wonder if her story is why WIKILEAKS was founded???
The US admin (Bush ver 2.0) wanted a UN vote to go to war. She was asked to get compromat or even imply compromat on the EU reps who vote on the UN panel.
MOTIVE - She broke classified info oath but upheld a stronger oath to defend The People aka The Commonwealth.
Bottomline - She wanted to prevent british and american soldiers dying in a false conflict, for a CIA-neocon military-industrial complex (Y peeps).
