British Press Gag Causing Reflex

At issue is a classified memo detailing a purported conversation between Blair and Bush in which the latter suggests bombing Al-Jazeera's station in Qatar. The Attorney General issued a warning to the British press that publication would violate the Official Secrets Act. British MP Boris Johnson pledges to publish the memo if it's given to him. $Q: The Attorney General's ban is ridiculous, untenable, and redolent of guilt. I do not like people to break the Official Secrets Act ... we now have allegations of such severity, against the US President and his motives, that we need to clear them up. If someone passes me the document within the next few days I will be very happy to publish it in The Spectator, and risk a jail sentence. .. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If we suppress the truth, we forget what we are fighting for
