Stereotypical measures ?

GALLOWAY UPDATE: The Labour deputy has now redoubled his denials and is threatening to sue the Daily Telegraph. I can't say his statement settles the matter. It sure doesn't convince me. The reporter explains to the Guardian:

"Nobody steered me in that direction at all. We just went and purely by chance we stumbled across this room which had these files in it, and again purely by chance we came across these files which carried the label Britain. And it was two days before we had actually gone through the contents and found this document. I find it very hard to believe that this document is not authentic. I think it would require an enormous amount of imagination to believe that someone went to the trouble of composing a forged document in Arabic and then planting it in a file of patently authentic documents and burying it in a darkened room on the off-chance that a British journalist might happen upon it and might bother to translate it. That strikes me as so wildly improbable as to be virtually inconceivable."

The story is now leading every major British news source, so we'll find out soon enough. But the full implications of this story for the anti-war movement are epic.

Cry freedom for the people

FREEDOM came to Iraq at 3.49pm on Day 21 of the war with the toppling of the statue of the man hated by millions.

The people of Baghdad had attacked Saddam Hussein's monument with a sledgehammer.

It was exactly how jubilant Germans began to bring down the Berlin Wall in 1989.

But symbolically, and fittingly, it was an American armoured vehicle that finally pulled Saddam's statue from its column.

Jubilant Iraqis danced gleefully on the fallen idol, then pulled his severed head round the streets.

The spontaneous outpouring of joy in towns and cities across Iraq was the message to the world that America and Britain are liberating allies, not oppressing invaders.

It is impossible to praise too highly the courage and skill of the American and British Forces, aided by Aussies and Poles.

We grieve for those who died in the cause of freedom but we salute those who in just three weeks rewrote both the history and future of the Middle East.

The fighting's not over yet but there can only be hours to go.

This is a political triumph, too, for Tony Blair and George Bush.

Virtually alone on the world stage, and blocked at all sides by the treachery of the French, Russians and Germans, they had the fortitude to do what they knew was right.

What irony that one of the first Baghdad buildings looted was the HQ of the United Nations, the inept talking shop that wouldn't lift a finger to help the Iraqis.

Bush and Blair emerge with huge credit - not as war-mongers, but as men who know liberty is worth fighting for.

We have seen a rope around the neck of Saddam's statue as a symbol of the justice his oppressed people dearly want to mete out.

Now the task of the Allies is to establish if the tyrant is alive.

And if he is, to bring him to justice.


Front line

THE remarkable scenes from Baghdad dominated TV all day and night.

They could not have been brought to our screens without the bravery and determination of reporters and camera crews.

The Sun is proud, too, of its team who have brought you the latest news and pictures, in many cases while under heavy fire.

By shining a light in Iraq's darkest corners they have helped the world cry freedom.
