several independent sources have reported that such a conversation took place.
Yes but where they got their information from is covered by the secrecy act so they cannot report it , Britain warned all its media this morning that they can face charges for following the story .
Nice things gagging orders .
They come in very handy when embarrasing stories surface .
Things like selling explosives to terrorists , breaking arms embargoes against brutal dictators , operating death squads . Shhhh its an embarrasing secret don't tell the public .
Though in this case the issue seems to be the context in which the alledged statements were made . I doubt that even a muppet like Bush would seriously consider pissing off the State that houses the regional headquarters by bombing it . Then again maybe he is that stupid .
