Hollow Men: National's Advanced Knowledge Of The Brethren Campaign

After a weekend of silence on the subject of Nicky Hager's "The Hollow Men: A Study In The Politics Of Deception." outgoing National Party Leader Don Brash has been interviewed several times this morning on his reaction to the book. His response to the key "Smoking Gun" allegation implicit in the 24th of May email addressed to him from the Exclusive Brethren is the same as that of National Leader in waiting John Key – namely, he didn't open the email. See... Brash Responds – I Didn't Read The Email Either! [1] . See... Sludge Report #172: How Hollow The Hollow Men? [2]
