| #9 Can some UKer, perhaps Bulldog, enlighten us about British libel laws? Can an organization, say for instance, just as an off-the-cuff example, the Queens Lancastershire Regiment sue the Mirror for libel? |

| #7 I'm proud to say I haven't bought a Boston Globe paper in about ten years. Somehow I think tu3031's beat that mark. |

| #6 Hmmm...since 9/11/01 the head honchos of the NYT, the Daily Mirror, and the BBC have all lost their jobs...and Blair and Bush haven't. Significant? You decide. |

| #5 Frank G: Don't worry I just fired the Globe yesterday. Actually, I just cancelled my subscription - I was only getting it for the sports and coupons, anyway. FWIW, I made sure they knew exactly why. I know it won't do any good, but it felt good to tell them: "You're fired!" |

| #4 "It is just a great pity it has taken so long... and that so much I hope that Piers Morgan is brought up on major sedition charges. We need to find the source of these photos. Protection of "journalistic" sources does not apply to such willful endangerment of our troops in the field. Fabrication of such inflammatory "pseudo-evidence" is merely aiding and abetting the enemy. This isn't just some "Batboy Bites Saddam" sort of National Inquirer tripe volcano, it is deliberate assistance of terror's putative cause. An extended stay at the graybar hotel is in order. |
