Your comments on Alastair Crook are timely and helpful. I wonder if by any chance you heard the BBC Radio 4 Today programme today (5 June 2006). on which he and an Irish commentator called Louise Richardson had the gall to compare Islamic terrorists to US civil rights campaigners. As usual unquestioned by their BBC stooge-interviewer, they followed on from the comments of the Irish sister of the so-called "Aid worker" Margaret Hasson, who cynically blamed the British Prime Minister for her murder. All three were quite transparently apologists for terroism of the kind you so rightly castigate, who evidently side with our common enemies in a time of war.
