Wernher von Morgan ?
"'Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department', says Wernher von Braun"
- as Tom Lehrer put it.
It would of course be a grave misunderstanding to view in that light the statesmanlike stance adopted by Welsh 'First Minister' Rhodri Morgan on the human rights implications of his efforts to further Wales' trade with China. Trade is a devolved matter, so he pursues trade. Human rights etc is a Westminster matter, so he leaves that kind of stuff to the UK Government. Not his problem. If only Amnesty International would see it that way.
