I listened to William Hague on the Today programme yesterday, being questioned by John Humphries on the alleged extra-judicial killing by Israel of the Hamas official in Dubai. Hague said he condemned all extra-judicial killings. Humphries asked if that meant that he condemned the extra-judicial killings by the USA carried out by drones in Pakistan. Hague refused to condemn the drone killings.

Hague is therefore guilty of double standards. Is he fit to become Britain's Foreign Secretary?
