Hizb who?

Scott at the Daily Ablution reviews press coverage of the Shabina Begum case, highlighting the involvement of radical Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

It seems a number of newspapers have mentioned HuT's role in the dispute but the Guardian has never reported on the connection. That does seem strange, particularly since (as Scott points out) Dilpazier Aslam, the Guardian reporter who covered the court case, was himself a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir.

But who knows? Maybe Aslam never mentioned HuT's involvement because he didn't want to compromise his integrity as a member of that organization.

Integrity? No, that's not the right word.
