Boris Puts His Neck On The Line

Boris Johnson looks like a buffoon. Sometimes he behaves like one. But not always.

 

The news story – that Bush wanted to bomb the al-Jezeera news station in Qatar – is still rumbling on. It wasn’t helped by the appearance of Frank Gaffney on Newsnight the day the story broke. As CuriousHamster reports, Gaffney said two things: a) the allegations weren’t proven and b) al-Jazeera probably should be bombed by the US government. Way to go, Frank. Mind you, even though he’s the president of the Center for Security Policy, he does seem to have a habit of saying some pretty ridiculous things.
