CBE: Comrade of Britain's Enemies?

One of the most loathsome enemies of this country is Shami Chakrabarti, head of the far-left "civil liberties" pressure group Liberty. This dreadful little woman devotes each and every waking minute that she has to giving aid and succour to terrorists, criminals, and immigrants. If her ideals were allowed to prevail, we would witness nothing less than the destruction of Britain.

So, why on Earth has the government seen fit to award her a CBE? What kind of nation honours its enemies in this manner? Well, I suppose there's precedent for it, in the knighting of Iqbal Sacranie, but it still seems to me that honouring Chakrabarti in this manner is rather akin to giving Lord Haw Haw a real peerage.
