The BAE bribery scandal gets murkier and murkier with revelations that the arms merchant secretly paid nearly £250,000 ($US498,00) for a honeymoon for the daughter of Prince Bandar, the Saudi Arabian prince who is right in the middle of these allegations.

The payments allowed the happy couple to spend six weeks in luxury resorts in Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, Hawaii and Australia, including a private jet trip to the great barrier reef.

The revelations coincide with reports that the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development will be pressing the British Government to explain why it covered up the payments.

The big question is what happens with British PM Tony Blair handing over power to Gordon Brown. The Times reports that Brown wants to have a complete clean out and dissociate himself from the grubby scandals of the Blair era.

But whatever he does, this one will not go away. What's needed is an open and transparent inquiry.
