Very very vague BBC story about a terrirsm arrest at manchester airport. The BBC does not seem to know the guy's name.

Now ain't that strange - I find from a US website that he is none other than their frequent studio guest the creepy Hassan Butt, the smoothtalking released Gitmo prisoner. Who was given loads of airtime to criticise the US, to claim he was just accidentally caught up in events in Afghanistan, that he was "totally innocent".

It turns out apparently that he has now tried to buy a ticket to pakistan just 45 minutes before the flight. If that isn't odd behaviour - what is ?

Are the BBC covering up the name of their poster-boy ? who must have been given dozens of appearances after his release from Gitmo. The latest interview being just a month ago. Why doesn't the BBC story name him ?

His name is clearly given in this big Daily Mail story yesterday :

and Sky News reports his name and background :

He is also named in stories by ITV, the Sunday Mirror, the Scotsman, the Guardian etc. But no mention of his name or background by the BBC !


Here are some acid comments on the BBC-favoured sweetie, Hassan Butt :
