It looks like Craig Murray was right all along. To the US's annoyance,
Britain's former ambassador to Uzbekistan publicly criticised human
rights abuses by President Islam Karimov's government. Mr Murray lost
his job last year. But even the most hard-nosed US strategists could
not turn a blind eye to the massacre in the town of Andijan in May. The
ensuing confrontation, all the more explosive for being delayed, has
come at a high price to Washington's interests in central Asia.
