You couldn't make it up

The Liberal Democrats are calling for an inquiry into whether the new head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, should be allowed to take up his post after his wife apparently published personal details on the Facebook website.

Lady Shelley Sawers disclosed information, including the location of the London flat used by the couple and the whereabouts of their three children on the social networking site, The Mail on Sunday reported.

The real question is whether UK safety can be entrusted to anyone whose wife is so utterly clueless (not to mention, stupid) as to post confidential details on the 'net. And before anyone says it was his wife and not him, we have to ask what does that say about his judgement? It's probably time to start again, with a new head of MI6, and not one whose choice in wives is so mindbogglingly inept.
