Two British civil servants charged with leaking report that the bombing of Al-Jazeera was planned by Bush

Report: Bush Talked of Bombing Al-Jazeera

By ROBERT BARR Associated Press 11/22/05 10:56

LONDON (AP) - A civil servant has been charged under Britain's Official Secrets Act for allegedly leaking a government memo that a newspaper said Tuesday suggested that Prime Minister Tony Blair persuaded President Bush not to bomb the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera.

The Daily Mirror reported that Bush spoke of targeting Al-Jazeera's headquarters in Doha, Qatar, when he met Blair at the White House on April 16, 2004. The Bush administration has regularly accused Al-Jazeera of being nothing more than a mouthpiece for anti-American sentiments.


Apparently they don't believe in whistleblower protection in the UK either.
