Albea, I didn't post this the other day when I originally read your thread, because it had absolutely nothing to do with your point. (I can't comment on the newspaper story, I don't know enough about it.) However, if you don't mind, I would like to ask this. I was surprised by the quote "Britain, which used to be our ally ... ". Used to be? Have I missed something? As far as I am concerned, my country considers itself very much America's ally.

Please understand that I am not trying to start a fight here, nor create any kind of international incident. I am genuinely curious as to the thinking/attitude behind this statement.
I can place that statement into some context for you. It comes
from this article.
