Dearlove warns WikiLeaks may cause government officials to stop writing records, eliminating crucial audit trails.
“And that is to, let's say, encourage government servants not to write full records to conduct business by word-of-mouth.”
Dearlove argues state security is government's first responsibility, more important than the NHS or individual health.
“It's more important than National Health Service. I mean, you take a Ciceronean view of the state, the security of the state is the first responsibility of the government.”
