REGARDING the Prime Minister's vow to join America in hunting down the terrorists who wreaked such horror in America, remembering how Tony Blair released dozens of terrorists from jail in Northern Ireland some months ago, if the circumstances were not so serious, they would be laughable.

I think Tony Blair is a fair weather friend, only helping if he sees it benefiting him.

One thing I will give him, this past week has been the only time I have seen him on TV or in the papers without his perpetual grin.
