Al-Qaeda threatens 'response' to Rushdie knighthood Jul 10 12:13 PM US/Eastern View larger image Al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri said on Tuesday the group is preparing a "precise response" to Britain's decision to bestow a knighthood on author Salman Rushdie. "I say to (Britain's Queen) Elizabeth and (former British Prime Minister Tony) Blair that your message has reached us and we are in the process of preparing for you a precise response," Zawahiri said in an audio recording posted on an Internet website often used by Islamic militants.

The distinction is that a "plea" is only necessary if a person has been formally charged with a crime. In Clinton's case, the prosecutor stated there was enough to indict Clinton, but the agreement spares all parties from that process. In the agreement, Clinton admitted to the acts he would have been indicted on. Those acts were illegal. There was never an issue of honesty or dishonesty when discussing Clinton's "agreement". Just a technical point about the word "plea", which I concede was my error. However, the substance of my original comment on this remains unchanged.
