NEWSPAPERS editors were threatened with prosecution under the Official Secrets Act last night if they published details of a conversation between Tony Blair and George Bush in which the President is alleged to have suggested bombing al-Jazeera, the Arab news network.
Please somebody tell me they are lying! More here. I really hope this is a misunderstanding. It sounds like it is... Some partisan Republican out there is thinking "If it's true, well good, Fuck Al Jazeera." Some partisan Democrat out there is thinking "if it's true, well fine, Fuck Bush." I implore that you're both wrong. If this is true... for the President of the United States to seriously suggest something like this... it will do irreperable harm to the credibility of this country on an almost unprecidented level. No one who cares about the United States should wish this. Editors are threatened over TV station bombing claim... |
