I was trying real hard not to post. But this is outright laughable.
When you say that the BBC is/was biased, are you taking into account that pretty
much throughout the whole recent war in Iraq a full ONE THIRD of the *American
public* mistakenly believed that WMDs had been found in Iraq? And that a 22%
believed they had actually been used against the British and US troops?

accusations? If only because to some of us, the BBC and Lego represent two of
the highest modern achievements of mankind. Way way way higher than any weapon
system that you can think of.
