Read the Onion for tones of sarcasm as a method to portray news?
(I agree this is not the best way as I clearly have confused Iain)
As for Enemy combatants and our rulers,
Ruler == USA
'Enemy Combatant' : Most infamously the Guantonamo bay prisioners fall under this category.
OK for the BBC this is famously the enemies of 'our way of life' .
What it is really is anyone who is perceived to be a threat to 'our way of life' just becaue they seem foreign to us.
This trait is very evident in the UK as witnessed by the overwhelming support for 'Blair's war' to IMC volunteers censoring and at times spinning politically correct news.
Get it? If not read up the Onion for some time and ask again being specific what exactly is not clear.

I do realise the
I cannot see any racist comments on this thread. If anyone misunderstands anything then refer to the sarcastic approach to news as in the Onion or even parts of the private eye.
As for the Onion I was pointing it out as someone else did the same to me on this newswire.
I personally think the onion is an american crappy website equally bad as the Private Eye which probably is more entertaining...... So I have enough of explaining.
I wish people boycotted the bloody BBC which has blood on its hands and adopted independent methods instead.
Slàn leibh.

"sorry old boy" did sound racist

apart from the archaic language used
it potentially reinforced the alcohol stereo-type of the Scottish...ok maybe it was meant to be funny...didnt see it myself....someone once told me that the word Welsh (to broaden out this debate ) means "foreigner" in English..which is amazing to say that the angles and saxons came to this land after...but heh why dont you read the books by beresford-ellis (?) apparently the english were big on ethnic cleansing then too ..

How about the "The Man" being ignorant?
