They say Bush was being humorous, but that's no excuse. Freedom of the press and all that. I don't agree with everything al-Jazeera reports, but they give an Arab perspective on the news and that is actually a valuable thing in this day and age. If Bush was serious, he would have been contemplating a crime. Reporters are not enemy combatants regardless of their views. And I know you all dislike Blair, but if Bush really did say that and Blair stopped him from doing it, then the PM deserves a pat on the back.
