Earlier this week reports broke in the U.K. the Tony Blair had to talk Bush
out of bombing al Jazeera. Since then the British Media has been gagged by
Downing Street from reporting further on the memo.

Channel 4 news in London has reported that the gag order came from pressure
by the White House. Brad Freidman’s
BradBlog has video
of this news report.

According to the report this is the first time the news media has been gagged
by Britain’s Official Secrets Act. This only leads to further speculation and
proof that the details disclosed in the memo are true.

Today the

general manager of al Jazeera has flown to London in order to meet with
government officials over the memo. It is also

sparking a law suit against the United States by the widow of a slain Iraqi
reporter who worked for al Jazeera’s Baghdad station which was bombed in 2003.
