I think the mere mention of this will have that effect. Whether it's "true" or not is inconsequential.

I was specifically talking about the following, which appears to have been originally written by one Boris Johnson and posted in the Telegraph yesterday:

[url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2005/11/24/do2401.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2005/11/24/ixopinion.html]The Telegraph[/url] wrote:
Who knows? But if his remarks were just an innocent piece of cretinism, then why in the name of holy thunder has the British state decreed that anyone printing those remarks will be sent to prison?

We all hope and pray that the American President was engaging in nothing more than neo-con Tourette-style babble about blowing things up. We are quite prepared to believe that the Daily Mirror is wrong. We are ready to accept that the two British civil servants who have leaked the account are either malicious or mistaken. But if there is one thing that would seem to confirm the essential accuracy of the story, it is that the Attorney General has announced that he will prosecute anyone printing the exact facts.

What are we supposed to think? The meeting between Bush and Blair took place on April 16, 2004, at the height of the US assault on Fallujah, and there is circumstantial evidence for believing that Bush may indeed have said what he is alleged to have said.

I was not attempting to discredit your source, but I would ask you to identify it. Thanks.

I'll go to jail to print the truth about Bush and al-Jazeera

If someone passes me the document within the next few days I will be very happy to publish it in The Spectator, and risk a jail sentence. The public need to judge for themselves. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If we suppress the truth, we forget what we are fighting for, and in an important respect we become as sick and as bad as our enemies....

Interesting.... please read the full article.


Ticomaya,

That was indeed in printed and online versions of the Telegraph. And freedom4free really linked it - so what's your question about that, Tico?

Walter: In one of his posts yesterday, f4f quoted a couple of lines from the Telegraph article -- but not the lines he quoted today. How on earth was anyone supposed to know he was quoting from the Telegraph article from yesterday? When one quotes someone, one should attribute it, and link to it if possible (including if one quotes from the same story the next day). He did not do that in the post I was addressing. That was my statement; I didn't have a question.

That coupled with his apparent attempt yesterday to pass off an article from the leftist site "The Nation" as being a relatively more mainstream "Yahoo News" story, has caused me to watch his links more closely.

Yeah, I was talking more specifically about you yourself. Would you question whether those other two bombings were truly accidental if this story were true, or do you already question it?

I don't think anyone is necessarily doubting the article Fedral. At least in my case, I just don't understand why any attention is being given to this story. It's not a big deal.


I doubt the article.

Ever since their bizarre napalm story, it has been apparent that the Daily Mirror is nothing but an insurgent propaganda rag.

I am unsure whether you are referring to me or someone else.

Disregard this if you meant someone else.



The problem with the Daily Mirror is not that they say things that I don't want to hear, but that they are printing outright falsehoods about my country. They are nothing but an outlet for insurgent propaganda.

Since I know they are lying outright, I see no reason why I should believe any stories that they print.

Yes. It is an apt description for those who refuse to face the fact that the Daily Mirror is nothing but an insurgent propaganda outlet.

Not at all.

An ostrich is a perfect metaphor for those who can't accept the reality of what the Daily Mirror is.

In cases like the Daily Mirror where the message is nothing but malicious lies. Certainly, shoot the messenger.

Fire away with those thermobaric bazookas the Marines used at Fallujah. Laughing
