British Paper Gagged on Bush - al Jazeera Threat
The Daily Mirror (UK) reports that it has been gagged by Britain's top law chief from publishing more of the secret memo detailing a threat by President Bush to bomb al-Jazeera tv network.
The Attorney General warned that publication of any further details from the document would be a breach of the Official Secrets Act. He threatened an immediate High Court injunction unless the Mirror confirmed it would not publish further details. We have essentially agreed to comply.
The five-page memo - stamped "Top Secret" - records a threat by Bush to unleash "military action" against the TV station, which America accuses of being a mouthpiece for anti-US sentiments.
