British Officials Support Barring BBC News Report

George's friend is in trouble with the law. Is it only a matter of time before they start coming after Mr.Bush:

Senior government officials rallied today to support a High Court ruling forbidding the BBC, Britain’s public service broadcaster, from reporting news about a campaign finance scandal under investigation by the police.

But the BBC nudged its reporting of the proscribed story a little further forward, saying it related to an e-mail between two close confidants of Prime Minister Tony Blair. The details of the e-mail, the BBC said on its Web site, “could have been central to the investigation into an alleged Downing Street cover-up” over the financing scandal.
