			Here's a clip from Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. It's a series that analyses news production and patterns of news coverage. It's a bit of a side step, but I think relevant to this discussion. It's a ten minute clip, the most relevant section starts a couple of minutes in, but worth watching the whole thing for clarity. The contribution from the Canadian journalist on the way 'narratives' form in the media is particularly intteresting in the context of our current 'crusade'. Another relevant section is about 9 minutes in: showing how footage of Yemen (in the wake of the recent bomb attempt) relies on videos uploaded by Al Q. and therefore offers an entirely skewed view of the country as being made up of jihadists.

			You actually believe this is a "crusade"? That is a definition place on the WOT by those who oppose it and it's methods. It is a fantasy.
