Bush en al-Jazeera

De Britse krant The Daily Mail meldt vandaag: 'EXCLUSIVE: BUSH PLOT TO BOMB HIS ARAB ALLY. Madness of war memo. By Kevin Maguire And Andy Lines. PRESIDENT Bush planned to bomb Arab TV station al-Jazeera in friendly Qatar, a "Top Secret" No 10 memo reveals. But he was talked out of it at a White House summit by Tony Blair, who said it would provoke a worldwide backlash.' En zojuist bericht het Amerikaanse netwerk ABC: 'LONDON Nov 22, 2005 — A civil servant has been charged under Britain's Official Secrets Act for allegedly leaking a government memo that a newspaper said Tuesday suggested that Prime Minister Tony Blair persuaded President Bush not to bomb the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera. The Daily Mirror reported that Bush spoke of targeting Al-Jazeera's headquarters in Doha, Qatar, when he met Blair at the White House on April 16, 2004. The Bush administration has regularly accused Al-Jazeera of being nothing more than a mouthpiece for anti-American sentiments.' http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=1337826
