Apology

[Little Tinca]

Don't worry it Jeff........it takes a big man to admit and apologise for what might not have been the best thing to do.

 

As for the news I would sooner have it warts and all then I can make up my own mind as to how I feel and interpret it.

Just curious but why do you suppose American news channels edit their material so much more than BBC?

---

surely not in the "land of the free"

is it "edit" or big brother changing history

i bet the shredders are red hot ,the government "I.T." chaps fearfull of their jobs are deleting everything and the whips are out in force twisting arms for all their worth to make sure that both Bush and Blair come up smelling of roses ,i suspect "others" will take the blame and go red faced with a good "golden handshake"

seems strange though, to joe public the law "ignorence is no excuse" would ensure a procecusion in any case in law, in the case of parliament it just another get out phrase :confused: :mad:

another thought any excuses the governments use in relation to "evidence" and information ,then unless Blair or Bush talked DIRECTLY with the informants or spies then its "hear say" and not a word can be used in their defence :mad: public hanging please

jeff I'm sure you didn't mean to upset anybody it was an interesting pic,but yes perhaps a link to the pic might have been better,chin up mate

[Paul_D]

I still don't know why it was deleted to be honest, am I missing something in my naive little world? :confused: Possibly you might not be able to answer that on here now?

[Jeff S]

Paul the only thing I can say that is remotely equivalent to what was posted is to watch Bug Attack on Sky the next time it's on. Particularly the part about human parasites.

 

Chesters do you trust anyone??

 

With the information what was presented via the news and regardless of whether anyone believed it was right or wrong (in reference to the threads during the war) someone has to take the blame. With these inquiries coming up who knows what will happen?

 

If you can't believe everything you hear, read, and watch maybe L. Tinca is right. Show it all and decide for yourself. It just might not be appropriate for AN though....

chesters1, having filmed in several war zones, beleive me, most of it isnt fit for broadcast. news is about informing people, not shocking them. its better to show shots which alude to the carnage and have a well written script than just show shots of headless corpses and dead babies

sorry i dont agree ,cleansing the news isnt showing real life ,if people SAW what was going on then maybe war wouldnt be so easily agreed to

Who agreed on it :confused:
