al-Jazeera Go Boom

In his defense, an official told the Mirror that the Bush threat had been "humorous, not serious." You know, like Bill O'Reilly gives jokey bombing suggestions to al Qaeda. We hear that once Blair nixed a missile attack to destroy the network, Bush wondered if they could just put Jon Klein in charge.
