Andrew Jaspan, editor of The Age newspaper in Melbourne, on ABC radio last Wednesday
I WAS, I have to say, shocked by Douglas Wood's use of the arsehole word, if I can put it like that, which I just thought was coarse and very ill-thought through and I think demeans the man and is one of the reasons why people are slightly sceptical of his motives and everything else. The issue really is, largely speaking, as I understand it, he was treated well there. He says he was fed every day and, as such, to turn around and use that kind of language, I think, is just insensitive.
This guy (the editor of a major newspaper) actually thinks Doug Wood is being insensitive to his captors because he described them as arseholes.
What an idiot!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this for real? Not Scrappleface? I just cannot believe this.
Please tell us that this is a joke.
(Please?!)
Jaspans logic is really just an excuse to defend the terrorists right to kill whomever they feel like. I would call him an Idiot, but, some cretin somewhere would take offense at being compared to Jaspan.
