Kennyr - maybe jacko is just reacting to the one-sided slating he gets from the management.
I myself have been accused by Danny of being a Ba'ath party supporter just because I suggested that he was applying an unbalanced approach to moderating posts on the war.
As a former RAF officer who carried a VERY high level security clearance, I suspect that being a Ba'athist would have made the attainment of that clearance unlikely!
