Hmmm...

Interesting news.

(update below)

Maverick British politician George Galloway has said it would be "morally justified" for an assassin to target Prime Minister Tony Blair, but he said he was not advocating an attempt, according to a magazine interview.

In comments to GQ magazine released Friday, Galloway was quoted as saying an attack on Blair that caused no other casualties would be a justifiable response to the war in Iraq.

"It would be entirely logical and explicable — and morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq as Blair did," the magazine quoted Galloway as saying.

If he knew anyone was planning such an attack, Galloway added, he would inform the police.

Sometimes the British aren't so low key. Imagine a US congress official saying such a thing about Bush. Well, now of course, they'd be sent to Gitmo.

(update) This is strange. I realised I hadn't linked to the original story and guess what, I can't find it. I can find absolutely no mention of the above quote. I swear I did see it. It's a cut and paste job. This isn't "made up" stuff.
