While people lie in hospital, we pay lawyers for what?

A week since my last post for which I apologise but my father has been in hospital quite seriously ill since before then and that has taken up much of my time. My thoughts on our Dear Leader's PFI fetish and the statist focus of the NHS will follow soon, but in the meantime why on earth are we not allowed to hear about Bush's plan to bomb al-Jazeera? Surely it can't be to ensure ongoing operational integrity....!?
