Opinion on the Israeli dividing wall:
"A wall is a good start. It's no 'giant lid over the whole fucked-up region.' But it's a start."
All the news that's fit to print:
""Bush is naive," said [Kofi] Annan. "He's a lemming who blindly went along with the judgment of U.N. experts, the CIA and other international intelligence agencies, the U.N. Security Council and former President Clinton. What a moron! How did he ever think that the U.N. inspectors could get accurate information as long as Saddam was terrorizing his people?"

Clare Short thinks that the government "tricked" us all into the war. Now, for the same reasons I've been away, I can't face picking her claims apart. I'll just say this - Short was part of the government when we went to war. The time to resign was then.
Sure, the ultimate cause that saw her leave, the "unilateral" approach to the peace, gets a mention. But she raises other issues before that point, and I don't think that she's that convincing a speaker if she was party to the alleged deceit...

The Times letters page belatedly hits the right note:
