Yes, wishful thinking Gareth. If you'd read the item you linked to. you would have seen that as well as carrying the FAC view of Gilligan it also gave Gilligan's response - and that of the opposition committee member who'd missed the meeting. You latched on to the bit you liked and put no weight on the other side of the story. THAT's prejudice, Gareth.

You will have noticed no doubt that the BBC has a tape of one of the interviews with Kelly. I would still suggest, ever so gently, that you let the inquiry run its course before spreading inuendo about Gilligan.

Oh, re Amnesty: did you happen to hear Bush describing British detainees at Camp Delta as "bad people" (with the the UK's supine PM raising not a murmur of protest)? Truly a wonderful soldier for human rights! Have you any idea why Peter Benenden founded Amnesty, and have you read its current mandate? Have you seen any of its campaigns for human rights in the US, among other places? Amnesty activists do sometimes win battles, but never with guns in their hands. You obviously don't know any or you would know how offensive your analogy was.
