BALI BAD SHOW CHAPS!

Jack Straw was cast adrift last night by a government treading on increasingly rotten eggs. While Tony’s gob-piece was appearing on a live TV debate, denying all knowledge of a CIA warning about the elevated threat of terrorist attacks upon “soft” targets in Indonesia, another Labour gob-piece was admitting to press that, actually, there was a warning; two warnings in fact – one in August and one two days before the outrage at the Sari Club.
Certain parts of Indonesia, particularly Bali, are popular holiday destinations. Why were the warnings ignored? Why weren’t tourists and ex-pats alerted to the serious possibility their lives may be at risk in areas where they congregated in large numbers? Both Tony Blair and John Howard should be dragged before their own parliaments to answer for their failure to act. They should then both resign.

A note to the people who perpetrated this atrocity, be they Islamic fundamentalists or US black ops. I hope you die like your victims, screaming in agony and fear, you warped, evil scumbags.
