		The recent calls for Sir Christopher Meyer to resign as chairman of the Press Complaints Commission have usually carried the implication that a man who is so good at invading the privacy of others has no right to lead an institution whose functions include judging the rights and wrongs of such invasions, real or alleged.
		A clearer case for Meyer's resignation can be found in the Press Complaints Commission's website, which states that the PCC chairman "must not be engaged in or, otherwise than by his office as Chairman, connected with or interested in the business of publishing newspapers, periodicals or magazines".
		Meyer became chair of the PCC in 2003, the year he left Washington, though the PCC website, so commendable in many ways, is untransparent about the process.

		LONDON — When Christopher Meyer, former British ambassador to Washington, entered the House of Commons committee room last week, all eyes were on his feet.
		Meyer, 61, who served in Washington from 1997 to 2003 before retiring, violated what British officials call "good chap" practice in his memoirs.
		Though some lawmakers called for Meyer to be "de-gonged" — stripped of his knighthood — he said DC Confidential served the public interest and was far less candid than American books about the same period, such as Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack, the inside-Washington story on the run-up to the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

	spiked-politics \| Article \| Christopher Meyer: what a creep
		Meyer wants us to be impressed by how dutifully he executed his tasks as a diplomat, when he ensured that officials would not be burned - as described in a book in which he burns the confidences he enjoyed as a diplomat.
		Meyer is no serious opponent to Blairism or Bushism, but rather is a new caste of celebrity leaker, the political equivalent of those blonde girls who fuck footballers and then tell all to the tabloids.
		The lionisation of Meyer by some on the anti-war side is curious because if you read the book you will see that Meyer is pro-war: he supported some kind of invasion of Iraq, still defends aspects of the invasion now, and played a not insignificant role in making sure it happened.

		Meyer is, to a surprising degree, broadly sympathetic with both Bush and Blair - though sympathy for the later is qualified in varying respects.
		At one point in the narrative Meyer uses the phrase "the devil is in the detail", as an epitaph for the nature of diplomacy and international agreements.
		Meyer certainly doesn't condemn Blair wholesale as a poltician without any merit but as you read the book you do come to the understanding that Blair's political preferences are not the same as Meyers.

		Indeed, so radical is the redefinition of categories that Davis and Meyer open their new book, BLUR: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy (Addison-Wesley, 1998), with an unusual caveat: "This is not a 'book.'" Rather, they say, it's a window into a conversation that the authors eagerly invite readers to join.
		As Davis and Meyer note, "Programmers in Silicon Valley identify much more strongly with what they do than with their employers, just as doctors and lawyers make their chief allegiance to their profession." Loyalty is alive and well - but it's loyalty to a team, a project, or a profession.
		Davis and Meyer understand the circular logic of free agency: "Connectivity enables you to seize more independence while independence motivates you to get ever more connected." There's a corollary: Knowledge is value - but only if you share it.

		Christopher Meyer is a lot like Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, for four years Chief of Staff at the Department of State under Colin Powell.
		Wilkerson and Meyer reflect from the safety of their current distance from the centers of power on a series of events that cannot be undone -- and that generations of Americans will pay a colossal price for.
		Meyer, and is he he merely trying to distance himself from too much direct involvement in the machinations that led to WAR while insinuating, without saying outright (which would be undiplomatic) that WAR was the only outcome (short of the 1% chance of Bush blinking) since "regime change" was early on decided upon.

		According to Sir Christopher Meyer, the former British Ambassador to Washington, who was at the dinner, Blair told Bush he should not get distracted from the war on terror's initial goal - dealing with the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
		Elsewhere in his interview, Meyer says Blair always believed it was unlikely that Saddam would be removed from power or give up his weapons of mass destruction without a war.
		According to both Meyer and the senior Cheney official, Blair helped win his argument by saying that he could be toppled from power at the Labour Party conference later that month if Bush did not take his advice.
