A PASSING OBSERVATION -

Newsnight for Mon evening was hosted by Gavin Esler instead of The Paxman. I don't know who the booker for the evening was, but it was an interesting selection of guests:

*While London attempts to return to normal, the big question on everyone's mind is what to do next to prevent it happening again. Are we in for a very long war against those who are prepared to murder indiscriminately for a political purpose which appears nebulous? We will consult two people who should know - the Palestinian journalist Abdel Bari Atwan, editor of Al Quds al Arabi, and author of a forthcoming book on Al Qaeda, plus David Frum, the former White House speechwriter who coined the phrase 'Axil of Evil' for George W Bush.*

+ Abdel Bari Atwan is flogging
his new book on Al Qaeda???!!!

++ Their purpose
appears "nebulous" to him!
