Bush Bashing Corporation Part 724

Nearly forgot this one. On Monday the R4 Today programme interviewed John McCarthy, who around the same time as Terry Waite was kidnapped and held by Hezbollah (painful) in Beirut for several years.
Captured ? Locked up ? Blindfolds ? Chains ? The BBC couldn't resist it, could they ? They just had to draw a parallel with Guantanamo Bay (Real Audio).

Well I suppose if Waite and McCarthy had been captured in a gun battle, fighting for the Maronite Phalange militia, rather than being respectively a Church Of England worker and a journalist. Details, details.

But McCarthy played up to the BBC like a good 'un. Stockholm syndrome ?
