It seems my recent offering on the misuse of the Official Secrets Act (is there really any use for it except to cover the backs of highly-placed miscreants, in a so-called democracy?), tying the Al Jazeera bombing to 'revisionism' over the Downing Street Memo fell on deaf ears...so here's another try:-

Harare City Centre
Powerful white people outside Zimbabwe think they could do a better job of running Zimbabwe than Mugabe and Zanu-PF. They are supported by the Western press.

But in recent days, it seems to backpedal while citing sources assessing an American strike on Iran is not going to happen.
