Sunday, March 02, 2003 Well now. We all know how much crap the liberal press gave PM Tony Blair for his staff's plagarizing.

Security Council members! "The email was originally transcribed with English spellings standardised for a British audience," the paper claimed on Sunday after the DRUDGE REPORT revealed the oddity of an American government worker typing favorable as 'favourable', recognize as 'recognise' and emphasize as 'emphasise'.

The spelling of the NSA official's name was strangely changed from "Frank Koza" to "Frank Kozu"; and the top secret marker of "Top Secret//COMINT//XL" should have read "Top Secret//COMINT//X1" to conform to any government coding. The multiple errors immediately ignited questions about the authenticity of the email and raised credibility issues over the entire OBSERVER report. "Secret document details American plan to bug phones and emails of key Security Council members ahead of crucial vote over war on Iraq,' splashed the OBSERVER in a world exclusive.
