The need to know...?

Why these almost hysterical demands to know what Jon Venables (or whatever his name now is) has done to have his licence revoked and to be returned to prison? Much talk of the public's "right to know" - but why? The assumption is that he has committed another offence, in which case the whole matter is sub judice as it would be with anyone else who had been arrested and charged. The fact that it's a revocation of licence doesn't alter the situation. Let the law take its course.
