		Robin Finlayson Cook (born February 28, 1946) is a British Labour Party politician, who was Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2001.
		Unfortunately for Cook, his own personal morals were soon in the headlines: when his affair with his secretary was revealed by a newspaper, he told his wife Margaret Cook[?] he was leaving her at Heathrow airport on the way to a holiday.
		Cook's resignation statement in the House of Commons, received with an unprecedented standing ovation by fellow MPs, was described by the BBC's Andrew Marr[?] as "without doubt one of the most effective, brilliant, resignation speeches in modern British politics" and "by far a better speech than he has made at any time in government".

	Robin Cook, Former British Foreign Secretary, Dies at 59 - New York Times
		Cook was close to tears in March 2003 when, as leader of the House of Commons, he rose on the very eve of battle to tell legislators that he did not believe an Iraq campaign had either international or domestic support and therefore, "with a heavy heart," he was quitting the government.
		Cook brought himself into line with a broad swath of the British population that was opposed to a war without a United Nations mandate and in alliance with a disliked American administration.
		Cook informed his wife, Margaret Cook, a medical consultant, of his decision to end their marriage as they were about to board a vacation flight to the United States at London's Heathrow airport.

		Cook was one of the very few contemporary politicians whose national reputation was built principally within the chamber of the House of Commons.
		It is a measure of Cook's competence and prestige, both as a national politician and in his constituency, that he continued to operate effectively and maintain political and public support, in the face of intense and continuing media interest.

	THE DARK HEART OF ROBIN COOK’S ‘ETHICAL’ FOREIGN POLICY - PART 1
		Cook’s death provoked the kind of reminiscences reserved for +favoured+ heads of state and allies of the West, not for the heads of “rogue states”, or for leaders of the vast mass of “unpeople” in the Third World.
		In 1978, a young Robin Cook had lambasted the British arms trade, noting that “it is a truism that every war for the past two decades has been fought by poor countries with weapons supplied by rich countries”.
		Cook appears to have had sincere reservations about the results of his actions, but was willing to continue when his protests were swept aside.

	THE DARK HEART OF ROBIN COOK’S ‘ETHICAL’ FOREIGN POLICY - PART 2
		Cook's lasting achievement was his "ethical foreign policy", former culture secretary Chris Smith declared in the Independent.
		“Robin Cook was often misquoted as adopting 'an ethical foreign policy': he was much more careful in his use of words, recognising that any country's foreign policy tends to be ruled by considerations of the national interest.
		Cook subsequently reported private conversations with Blair that suggested his boss had long been aware that this was the case.

	DEREK RAYMOND, AKA ROBIN COOK, AUTHOR
		Robin Cook, the Old Etonian ex-minicab driver and chronicler of the underbelly of society in the 1960s (with titles such as A Crust on Its Uppers), has for many years been publishing, under the nom de plume Derek Raymond, a series of gruesome thrillers known as the ''Factory'' novels.
		Cook was particularly pleased at their interest in his work and the fact that there seemed "to be no age gap at all" - which means he has been attracting disaffected bohemian readers for over 30 years now.
		Robin Cook was born in London in 1931, the eldest son of a textile magnate.

		Robin Cook, British Foreign Secretary from 1997 to 2003, will later say that “al-Qaeda” was originally the name of a database.
		Cook later says in his diary that Scarlett’s summary was “shorn of the political slant with which No. 10 encumbers any intelligence assessment.” After the meeting with Scarlett, Cook concludes that “Saddam probably does not have weapons of mass destruction in the sense of weapons that could be used against large-scale civilian targets.”
		Cook says to Blair: “It’s clear from the private briefing I have had that Saddam has no weapons of mass destruction in a sense of weapons that could strike at strategic cities.

	Oliver Kamm: Robin Cook
		But most significant for Cook's political reputation will be, in my view, his assertion of foreign policy with an ethical dimension (not, as he is often misquoted as saying, an ‘ethical foreign policy’).
		Cook, as Foreign Secretary, did fine work in two cases of foreign policy with an ethical dimension: Nato’s repulsion of Serb aggression against the Albanian Kosovars, and the deployment of British troops to Sierra Leone to preserve a suffering people from a peculiarly barbarous set of hand-lopping rebels.
		Robin Cook was anti-war, but he was not part of that sort of anti-war ‘Left’.

	After Robin Cook’s resignation - The Labour Cabinet at War
		Cook's speech exposed the hypocrisy of the US and British governments in relation to their failure to implement UN resolutions over years demanding the withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories of Palestine.
		In a stinging indictment of Bush and Blair's claims and their hypocrisy, he went on to state that Iraq probably has no weapons of mass destruction, and if it does they are the remnants of those sold to Saddam by British and US governments.
		Backing the unanswerable public opinion of two million on the streets of London, Cook, despite protesting that he supports Blair, other than on this the most important question of the day, is in reality outlining his own desire to lead the party in a different direction.

		Robin Cook, master of bestselling medical thrillers, answers the "What's the worst thing that could happen?" question in this plot-twisting novel in which villains with no sense of ethics or social responsibility get their greedy hands on the newest cloning technology.
		Alas, Cook appears to have gotten off at the wrong station or missed the train entirely, judging by his latest effort, a crudely conceived, ineptly written and most damning of all totally unexciting story ripped from old headlines.
		Cook needs a new editor who will prod him to write well again or suggest he take a sabbatical or try a new career.

		Robin Cook's latest medical thriller may seem like yet another example of the author's uncanny ability to anticipate national controversy, in this case the uproar over federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
		But in fact, Shock, Cook's expose of the private infertility industry, was actually delayed nearly a year by an arrival of a different sort -- Cameron Cook, the author's first child.
		It is largely within these privately funded clinics that controversial stem cell research is being conducted because the federal government, beset by anti-abortion groups, has refused to grant it funding.
