Well you can read the information for yourself and make your conclusions about this.Read the memo that is in the link.

I hope that to win the UN backing the US is not doing bad things to win votes.

that particular news agency is a strong anti-war left wing tabloid, though I may be mistaken. I usually don't trust news from Britain that isn't also from the London Times and or the BBC as it does have a strong left slant.

If I'm mistaken about this agency, please let me know so I can post a retraction

No, Derek, you are not mistaken. The "Observer" has a reputation for wild speculation, relentless papparazzi on the payroll, and demonstrative socialist (read: anti-U.S.) ramblings; it's like reading "Pravda" or Izvestia" with celebrity/"royals" cheesecake photos. :roll:

Very good guys! You have been doing your homework. That tabloid has an obvious left-wing bias.

Regardless of whether "The Observer" is a radical left-wing (heaven forbid - I must not read it then... :roll: ), did you guys even read the memo from Frank Koza????

Yes, stephanie...I do not make it a habit to post on articles I haven't read for myself.

Sure I read it. I read a lot of information... you have to read all sides before you can discount those opinions!

Eavesdropping on diplomatic conversations is nothing new and not really dirty tricks. It is just a fact of diplomatic life. To increase this activity during a time of tension is nothing new.

That is why I said in my inicial post read it and make your conclusions about whart it is said there because we have to read all sides of an issue to then have an opinion in favor or against.

That's good to know Bill...

It didn't seem to me that what the Observer was saying was anything contradictory to what the memo said.
