Murderous Bush Plotted To Bomb Al-Jazeera

... and was only talked out of it by a shocked Tony Blair.

Another leaked British government memo has been leaked, as reported by The Mirror:
Dozens of al-Jazeera staff at the HQ are not, as many believe, Islamic fanatics. Instead, most are respected and highly trained technicians and journalists.

To have wiped them out would have been equivalent to bombing the BBC in London and the most spectacular foreign policy disaster since the Iraq War itself.
The mad proposal came at the height of the US Massacre Of Falluja, when Al-Jazeera was about the only news service on earth providing eyewitness footage and other details.

Former Labour Defence Minister Peter Kilfoyle challenged Downing Street to publish the five-page transcript of the two leaders' conversation:
It's frightening to think that such a powerful man as Bush can propose such cavalier actions. I hope the Prime Minister insists this memo be published. It gives an insight into the mindset of those who were the architects of war.
OK, now I want everybody to take a deep breath. Now go and visit the Al Jazeera website. It's OK. In fact, it is important to confront your fears in order to render them obsolete - visiting a website does not make you a terrorist.

Here's a good article: It's time Cheney steps down.

Does that sound subversive? Well, it's only echoing a call from an editorial in The Daily Texan!
An editorial on The Daily Texan stated yesterday that Vice President Dick Cheney should resign and the sooner the better.

The American President George W. Bush’s recent visits to Asia is an attempt to escape the mounting criticism and public dissatisfaction that's haunting him at home.

And with the “saddle in the Oval Office empty for the time being”, according to the editorial, Cheney “a pandering liar and a corporate tool”, is now the most powerful official on U.S. soil.

A number of big oil firms recently lied to a congressional panel investigating whether or not record profits received by those companies were the result of price gouging, The Daily Texan stated.
Maybe Bush should bomb Texas?

Have a look at some of Al Jazeera's other articles and ask yourself if these people are really terrorists. Or do those working at Fox News and in the Oval Office sound more like real terrorists? Hmmn?

UPDATE: The whistle-blower who released the memo has already been arrested. Now the UK attorney general is threatening newspapers with the Official Secrets Act if they revealed the contents of the memo:
It is believed to be the first time the Blair government has threatened newspapers in this way.
The White House calls the story "outlandish" and refuses to "dignify it with a response". Sounds like they are playing for time again... The original report included a British official trying to play down Bush's comments as "humorous, not serious". If that's the case, why not release the memo to the public so we can all have a good laugh? Mind you, the warmongering US wingnuts still can't see anything wrong with bombing Al Jazeera.
