A final point tonight

Perhaps someone can explain to me why the American press and Bush administration is telling us that all these flights from overseas are being cancelled or delayed because of "grave security concerns", while the French say this is not true and the British press tells us that the British Airways flights were prevented because there was a dispute among the pilots' union about flying with an armed American sky marshal aboard.

Do we really expect tourism money from overseas next year? I can't imagine why.
