   The BBC is also backing the Bush-Cheney cabal line, which tells us a   
   lot about who controls the 'British' Broadcasting Corporation. Even   
   going to the lengths of telling in heavy tones how the German town of   
   Friedrichshafen is trying to adjust to hosting the Iranian football   
   team during the coming Cup competition.  Propaganda in action.   
      
   Sling 'em.  The lot.  Anywhere, but out of here.
