It's Not Government Policy!

The media is constantly accusing the government of things that are simply not government policy.

It doesn't matter if they are stupid and it doesn't matter if they are true. What matters is whether they are official policy.

First we had the US intelligence assessment that the Iraq war had contributed to the threat of terrorism. Then we had MoD report backing this up.

Now we get the statement from Tony reassuring President Pervez Musharraf that, even if the assessments were made and were genuine, their release certainly was not government policy.

That's the way Tony. You've still got your act together, superman!
