Intelligence Test

On July 17, my entry “British Intelligence” linked to a Guardian story about a bumbling amateur spy organization set up by the Bush administration.  The headline of that entry, together with Tony Blair’s remark quoted there, implied that The Guardian was a much better example of real British intelligence than Blair’s minions.

On July 21, my entry “Meet D. B. Norton” attacked Blair as a puppet of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch.

Now The Guardian has come through with a story confirming the picture of puppetmaster Murdoch.  See
