‘I wanted to put the Iraq war on trial’
Katharine Gun worked as a translator for GCHQ, the UK government's communications headquarters.
She was sacked in 2003 after revealing a secret email to a UK newspaper and faced a charge of breaching the Official Secrets Act. She was cleared of the charge when the prosecution offered no evidence.
Ms Gun told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur that she has few regrets about what she did.
Her story has now being made into a film, Official Secrets, starring Keira Knightley.
