The attorney general last night threatened newspapers with the Official
Secrets Act if they revealed the contents of a document allegedly
relating to a dispute between Tony Blair and George Bush over the
conduct of military operations in Iraq.
It is believed to be the first time the Blair government has threatened
newspapers in this way. Though it has obtained court injunctions
against newspapers, the government has never prosecuted editors for
publishing the contents of leaked documents, including highly sensitive
ones about the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.

Given that in the leak was Shrub's desire to bomb Al Jazeera,
small wonder they want to keep it quiet. It's more evidence
that the US military was deliberately killing journalists who
refused to be muzzl^H^H^H^H^Hembedded.
