Anyone who does not support concerted action by sovereign states against international terrorist organisations acts against the concepts of democracy
Palestine being an interesting case. Do we support the democracy or act against the terrorists?

But to return to the propaganda issue; it is a shame that neither Dickey nor Terry appears able to grasp the concept of implicit rather than explicit propaganda. To be successful and effective, propaganda has to be implicit; the best messages are put across subliminally.
By and large, politicians know that it is unwise to utter a direct and outright lie. They would rather be economical with the truth and creative with their interpretations. Mention Saddam and 9/11 in the same speech often enough, and people will believe it.
Even Bush's answer to the direct question is interesting. He won't say "no". No, he says "I cannot make that claim," as if to say he would like to, but there is, as yet, a missing piece of the jigsaw.
Dickey's obduracy I can understand, being exposed as he is solely to a supine American broadcast media, but a canny wee Scot like Terry? *sigh*. Not for nothing, it would seem, is the SI unit of density called the matelot.
