Has there ever been a terrorist group that the BBC did not instinctively like? (Well, apart from Irgun?) I listened to this item on Today just before 8am concerning the looming defeat of the so-called Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and the entire tone was one of showing brotherly solidarity with these vicious terrorists. Both the commentators that the BBC used took the view that the Tigers could never be truly defeated and that one could not trust what the Sri Lankan government said. I wonder WHY the BBC finds it so hard to dislike those who carry out terrorism? Maybe a terrorist is just a friend you have yet to meet?
