http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16401707%26method=full%26siteid=94762%26headline=law%2dchief%2dgags%2dthe%2dmirror%2don%2dbush%2dleak-name_page.html

The Mirror has been gagged from making any further reports on the fact that Bush, for reasons best known to himself, wanted to bomb the only non-state owned TV station in the Middle East.

Ignoring the fact that Bush is an idiot and the only people who hate al-Jazeera more than the USA is every single Arab government, why on earth has the mirror been banned from reporting this?

(and what are the odds on the rest of the story being leaked to the Sun by the government as soon as the Mirror is allowed to report it?)

I didn't know the UK government could forbid a newspaper to publish a piece of news :?
