Transatlantic Intelligencer: Postponement and Observation

John Rosenthal notes:
Shortly after the London bomb blasts, an anchor on the French 24 hour cable news channel LCI noted that George W. Bush had in a recent speech stressed the need to combat terrorism. Turning to a French security expert who had been invited onto the program to comment upon the unfolding events, he asked: "In effect, the President of the United States is right, isn't he?"

It is exceedingly rare to hear such words on French television...
