Blogs of War

is a great place to go when you get fed up with mainstream media’s treatment of the war. The writing on the site is both insightful and interesting.

Although I disagree with much of what is said on Anti-War.com, the writing is a heck of a lot better than you find in the Guardian. It is worth a read.

Libertarian Samizdata

were kind enough to mention my blog. I welcome any of that esteemed site’s readers to my humble contribution to the discussion. Comments are off for this post

After recovering from the frustration of watching Al Queda be praised by the panel on Any ? on Friday. This weekend sees the whineing about the treatment of the Al Quada treatments at G’tmo reach a fever pitch. No surprise to see that the BBC (esp: News 24) is championing this position. There is little sense of balance in their pieces. The BBC are quickly becoming the official voice of Amnesty International.

What is most sickening is the undertone of suggestion that the American authorities are in some way torturing their detainees. There are even veiled suggestions that American tactics are no better than the Taliban.

The really cynical side of me wonders: Say the terrorists crash an airplane in the middle of Soho or into Bush House. Would the reporting by the BBC be any different?
