Brit Journalism School - I wish
In the same article that I just mentioned British Prime Minister Tony Blair is asked this question about rebuilding Lebanon by a BBC reporter, "You spoke of having a plan to rebuild houses in Lebanon. Wouldn't the people of Lebanon rather know when you're going to tell the Israelis to stop destroying houses?"
This is the lind of hard-hitting, straight to the point question that I would like to see American journalists asking. Can we send all of our journalists to Britain to learn how to ask questions?
