Sorry 2004

Apparently, Ruben Stuuddard isn't the only one saying he's sorry these days. No need to worry though, it was all done in the interest of making sure the Kerry bounce was not too large. The world is safer now....

US apologises for terror news leaks

President Bush's chief domestic security official yesterday apologised for the disruption of a big MI5 and police surveillance operation in Britain.
Tom Ridge, the homeland security secretary, said the leaking of intelligence in the US about alleged terrorist suspects here was "regrettable".

Mr Ridge was speaking to journalists in London before meeting David Blunkett and Sir David Omand, the prime minister's security and intelligence coordinator.

Whitehall was furious early last month when individuals were named and allegations about terrorist attacks were made public in the US.
