UK bloggers beating Fleet Street once again.... incredible work - and solid blogtage by the lads from Blair Watch.
From Blair Watch
We have had our suspicions (argued below) that the Times memo and the Mirror memo citing Bush’s plans to bomb al-Jazeera are entirely different documents confirmed by Peter Kilfoyle MP, who has seen both documents.
He was naturally reticent, but when we aked Peter if the source for the Mirror article was related to the ‘prosecution’ of and Keogh and O’Connor over last years leak to the Times he said:
Wholly different sources.
The Times used ‘official’ leaks; the current document remains top secret - they are livid it is out.

We have also had it confirmed that Keogh and O’Connor are only facing one set of charges, over one document.
If what was reported by the BBC prior to the Mirror story is correct; That Keogh and O’Connor are being prosecuted over the leak of the document ‘Iraq in The Medium Term’ as published in the Times
, and not for leaking the source of the Mirror article then Blair and his official spokesman would be leaving themselves wide open by describing the Mirror story as ’sub-judice’.
If the mirror is correct in it’s assertion that Keogh and O’Connor are being charged over the source of their story , then the story reported by the BBC about them being charged over the leaking of ‘Iraq in the Medium Term’ memo was a construct, a ‘beard’ to cover up the existence of the document refered by the Mirror.
This means our government must have pre planned and disseminated the lie ; that Keogh and O’connor were being prosecuted over the leaking of the ‘Iraq in the medium term’ memo.
