I thought GWB came off very well in the article.

What was it about the tone that bothered you?

The Telegraph is a solidly conservative paper, that is a friend of the United States.

Maybe I'm too over-protective of our President, but several things bothered me.

This comment about Powell:

On the eight-hour flight back, he told reporters that he would be contacting world leaders in the days to come. But it would be 10 hours before he was able to speak directly to his own leader, President Bush.

Also, this:

No one is sure where the story reported at this time of a "credible terrorist threat" to Air Force One came from. What can be safely said is that it served the White House's immediate purposes, even though it was completely untrue.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that there was indeed a credible threat to Air Force One. I could be wrong and like I said, I'm over-protective. My defensive stance may be due to Jennings' ludicrous comments that day.
