Actually, on another page on the BBC's site, she *is* wearing a helmet

Yeah, well, they refuse to call suicide bombers by their rightful monikers,
instead naming them "freedom enthusiasts" or "Valhalla aspirants" or some
such rubbish.  They had to jettison one of their directors recently for
making unfounded allegations that Blair had knowingly misled the Brits abt.
Iraq (the suicide scientist).  The crack that he's Bush's "poodle" is closer
to the mark.  There now; I've done it - stepped in poo (politics).  Yes, the
Bebe is left of center, as is most of the U.S. media (NYT, CBS), with the
notable exceptions of Fox and radio (exc. Clear Channel).  We're very, very
opinionated over here, but not stupid.

Leave Gunga Dan alone - he looked good in his turban twenty years before
they'd come into fashion -  anyway, he's from Tyexas - whaddya expect!?

Well, I'd certainly have chosen a word other than "unfounded" - in
politics more so than anywhere else there's no smoke without fire.***
actually quit, but primarily in order that the BBC could undergo its own
reform.

I'd hate to line in a country where the BBC was "reformed" by new
labour. We get all the news that's approved to hear by either Tony or
Rupert. Still, if that were the case I'm sure we'd have "found" WMD in
Iraq, Dr. Kelly would have been ***ed by Al Quaeda, and the French
wouldn't have won the world cup.

One man's freedom fighter and all that....

No, John, unless yer deaf, dumb, blind and amoral, there are differences of
both degree and kind between terrorists like the ones who blew up the school
children in Beslan and the "Freedom Fighters" who took back their country in
Ukraine and are attempting to do so in Lebanon, despite the
politically-correct non-stance the BBC is trying to indoctrinate its
audience to believe.  In you, it seems, they've succeeded.  Hmmmpf!

The BBC just reports the news as it happens. Get off the meds.

Interesting argument - agree with you or accept that I'm deaf, dumb and
blind?

Russia was/is attempting to do in Chechnya what the US is doing in Iraq
and now Iran (that's not over by a *long* way). The US promises tens of
millions of dollars to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan looking for oil out of the
Caspian sea. Russia's own route to the Caspian Sea oil lies through
Chechnya, hence Putin's own "war on terrorism".

In Chechnya the Russians have attacked villages, blown up white flag
convoys. used weapons banned under the Geneva convention. But they are
"our allies" - Putin is Bush's "new close friend" - therefore the
"freedom fighters" become "the terrorists".

I may not agree with their methods, but then I don't agree with
Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Mosul, or countless other atrocities. Right is
not the sole preserve of one side, and one incident does not change any
entire country into terrorists. They are still the wronged.
