Something like this doesn't even warrant ONE friggin' comment?

Not ONE comment? Drops all the way to Page FOUR in 4 hours?

So, what you're saying is it's OK that what you think is "honest" BBC reporting is stepped all over as though it came from FAUX?

Either that or the whole freakin' board has me on ignore...

2. i listen to bbc over night to get some "good"

reporting . i rarely listen to npr and when i do it`s so watered down i turn it off..i guess i`ll have to string up an aerial to my shortwave and start listening more often to world radio..

3. maybe because Powell Jr. will pull NPR's license if they broadcast

all of what was said. ? ?

4. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

At least when Nr. 10 leaned on them (the BBC)to stop calling IDF hits on PLO leaders "Assassinations" and start calling them "killings", they raised a bit of a stink over it, but I was unaware until today that what we get for overnight or sat radio from them had been "sanitized for sensitive Murkan ears"

Now that their scam has been "blown", as soon as Agent Mike makes his report and it filters up to the BoG over at the VOA, we'll be hearing very strange interference to the BBC....

5. Just read the article

only been online for a few minutes....gotta give this a kick.

btw: Is there any way of contacting BBC and asking WHY the two different versions of the story?

[BiggJawn]

6. Yes.

Go to www.bbc.co.uk then the worldservice homepage, then from the "programs" pull down, click "The Interview" and there is a comments box right there.

I have asked them why. I'll be surprised if I get an honest answer. My hunch is they'll blame it on propagation and I really didn't hear the BBC....S'Yeah, another show called "The Interview" and they just happened to be also talking to Pat Gunn...

8. "So I guess we're so used to being lied to that..."

I wondered the same thing myself. The post below got no attention even though it backs the claim that all was not kosher with the investigation into our largest terrorist attack in modern times prior to 911. Perhaps most posters here are fairly young?

Document: Oklahoma City Bombing Was Taped
By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer
Mon Apr 19, 6:59 PM ET

WASHINGTON - A Secret Service document written shortly after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage of the attack and witness testimony that suggested Timothy McVeigh (news - web sites) may have had accomplices at the scene.

"Security video tapes from the area show the truck detonation 3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck," the Secret Service reported six days after the attack on a log of agents' activities and evidence in the Oklahoma investigation.

An entry a day earlier on the same log reported that the security video was consistent with a witness' account that he saw McVeigh's getaway car in the lead before a woman guided the truck to its final parking spot in front of the Murrah building.

"A witness to the explosion named Grossman claimed to have seen a pale yellow Mercury car with a Ryder truck behind it pulling up to the federal building," the log said. The witness "further claimed to have seen a woman on the corner waving to the truck."

A Secret Service agent named McNally "noted that this fact is significant due to the fact that the security video shows the Ryder truck pulling up to the Federal Building and then pausing (7 to 10 seconds) before resuming into the slot in front of the building," the log said. "It is speculated that the woman was signaling the truck when a slot became available."
