It was NOT the Observer saying this, it was the author of the memo.

The home affairs editor of the Observer said he had had agreed to interviews with CNN, NBC and Fox News Channel- but all three called back to cancel- I wonder why?

You are right - it is quoted. The Observer still is very biased in their reporting.

As for why they cancelled - there could be many reasons. One is they may not have been able to verify the truth of it. I know what you are implying - that the government put a stop to it. If that is the case - then it is also just as possible that the memo was a fake. I seriously doubt The Observer will go through the trouble of retracting the story if it was found to be a lie.

I have mixed feelings about it if it is true. I'd actually have to hear about it from a different source than just The Observer.
