There was an interview with the al-Jazeera interviewer who interviewed Tony Blair on BBC this morning.
He was himself ex-BBC and said that most of his colleagues were BBC trained.
Apparently he gave Tony Blair a hard time (I haven't seen this interview re-broadcast anywhere), and he said that he
though Tony Blair was very vague in some of his answers. In particular he said he was very vague about whether he
considered certain organisations in other Middle East areas such as Palestine and Syria to be terrorists or freedom
fighters. Not surprising though. The al-Jazeera interviewer said something along the lines of what is disturbing the
Arab nations is not the invasion of Afganistan and going after bin-Laden, but the perceived threat that the US will go
after other terrorist organisations in that general area too but without being clear who they are yet.
