The BBC’s Today program this morning tackled the issue everyone’s been struggling with:
“In the aftermath of the Madrid bombings, we discuss the difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist.”
So who did they bring on the show to clarify this for us? Palestinian hijacker and hostage-taker Leila Khaled, and IRA publicity head Danny Morrison.
We kid you not. Hear it for yourself: RealAudio link
Melanie Phillips is outraged:
This is the BBC’s idea of balance — two apologists for terror, in earnest discussion. And this is the organisation the public nevertheless still appears to trust and venerates as an icon. Is it any wonder the country is in the grip of so much appeasement, irrationality and ignorance?
