I would bet that the INDEPENDENT or the GUARDIAN would shy away from 
criticizing the UK government (especially given the Official Secrets Act 
and the libel laws there) while being able to lambaste the US government 
with abandon. People there might be consulting the US media in order to get 
a little more objectivity on the UK.

Is this an accurate perception? inquiring minds want to know...

(and does Brad really snort? Maybe UC Berkeley profs can afford it, but we 
at Torquemada University can't.)
