Bush Wanted to Bomb Free Speech
It is being reported that President Bush wanted to bomb Al-Jazeera news offices, but was disuaded by Tony Blair. Al-Jazeera is seen by the administration as hostile to U.S. interests because their reports include content that is damaging to the U.S. Such as photos of killed civilians in Iraq. U.S. news corporations will comply with government requests not to report on certain newsworthy items. The leaked memo detailing Bush's proposal is being withheld at the British government's request.
