The United Kingdom has used the Official Secrets Act to prevent UK newspaper the Daily Mirror from continuing to publish information regarding an alleged transcript of a conversation between Tony Blair and George W. Bush in which the President is said to have discussed taking military action against Arab television broadcaster Al-Jazeera.

Since the gag order was issued, no new information has been released regarding the transcript, as the British government has threatened all media organizations they would be breaking the law if details about the memo are released.

According to the Daily Mirror, during the course of the transcripted conversation, Prime Minister Blair talked Bush out of launching an military strike on Al-Jazeera's news offices in Qatar. The talked are alleged to have taken place on the 16th of April, 2004.
