Unfriendly fire

Tim is firing off some new and somewhat inimical shots on his blog. He sounds angry but I can't fault his reasoning, not on cannabis nor the BBC's mislabelling of the slaughter of nine Iraqi policeman as "friendly fire".

In fairness to the BBC I'm gonna point out that Bush seeks his Kennedy moment, their report on Bush's pathetic speech on Monday, is about as scathing as the BBC is likely to be towards the US right now. That dry, superior and uniquely British tone is brought out in full force with liberal use of the inverted comma and phrases like "rather doubts it".
