Unfortunately, in today's world "naive news management" can be described as not realizing that the press will instantly put the very worst possible spin on anything pertaining to the United States, and will accentuate anything that could possibly damage the relations of the US and other nations, particularly in the context of the War on Terror.

I read the supposedly anti-American excerpts (not the whole text). He basically said that strength is founded, in this new century, on alliances that countries build together in cooperation, not in alliances that are primarily military.
I thought that was just new age spin, but troubling that the new PM didn’t have such texts pre-vetted before delivery.
PM Brown has his hands full.
Brown flatters himself......he OUGHT to be worrying what British commoners think of him.....there are still not enough west-hating moozlimes in Britain to give him the smooth sailing he tried to create for himself with his BIG MOUTH, LOL
Good to hear. Now get rid of Bollock-Brown.
We’re going to be hit again and hard, and the rest of the world will, incorrectly, blame the attack on the fact that we ousted Hussein and tried to bring Iraqis into the 21st century with democracy. We were attacked repeatedly in the years before GWB became President, well before 9/11. Clinton ignored these attacks and we were perceived as ‘weak, a paper tiger’. (There’s nothing like positive reinforcement to encourage more of the same.) Alas, Liberals have selective memories, and they’ll blame the next attack on GW, a big lie. The MSM will trumpet this baloney through ‘08.
