"Whether Bush planned to bomb Al Jazeera or not, I have no idea." Whether or not the story is true, there appears to be a document with that information. Two people have been charged with leaking it. Last week, two men were charged under the Official Secrets Act for leaking the five-page transcript. David Keogh, 49, an official in the Cabinet Office, is alleged to have passed the document to Leo O'Connor, 42, last year. And the British government is threatening the media if they detail the contents of the memo. Lord Goldsmith warned media organisations that they might face prosecution under the Official Secrets Act if they published the contents of the top secret document. telegraph.co.uk So either the British are in the habit of producing fake memos and then charging people with leaking those memos, or it is real. Now true, Dubya and Tony could have been doing a little comedy sketch where Bush pretended to be advocating bombing al-Jazeera and Tony pretended to talk him out of it, or maybe Smirk was just pulling Tony's leg, but is seems pretty certain there is such a memo that contains that information.
