I hadn’t noticed mention of a substantial anti-war march held in Washington at which many arrests were made. The main feature reported was that it was led by Iraq war veterans. Al Jazeera reports this (16/9/2007).

The UK press are still hung up with Northern Rock and the McCann saga so the rest of the world seems remote and inconsequential. We know George W. doesn’t case for Al Jazeera which is a bombing target as much as all the nations on the U.S. list for action. However what excuse is it for the British media to fall in line and fail to cover such an event?
