After yesterday’s post on the man, I’ve just noticed that Con Coughlin is under investigation by the Press Complaints Commission. It’ll be interesting to see whether anything comes of that.

I failed to mention yesterday that Con’s article just happened to appear the morning after Bush’s State of the Union address. It too was hostile towards Iran.

Unsurprisingly, my comment on his “blog” yesterday didn’t make it past the moderators. It was only a question about his sources.

Apparently he’s a “world renowned expert on the Middle East and Islamic terrorism. ”
