There was obviously a software failure at the Guardian during the editing of Peter Preston's latest column. Here he is, talking about the link between people power and terrorism:
The truth is that protest has changed some terms of world trade and debt. And the difficult truth we can barely whisper to ourselves is that one kind of protest can morph, along a continuum, into another. When too many Palestinian children died because they were allowed to walk at the front of intifada marches where the bullets flew fastest, the suicide bombers took over.
Surely he meant to say those children were targeted by the vicious Zionist killing machine? No doubt a correction will appear in due course. Or has Alan Rusbridger's predecessor had a change of heart?
(Hat-tip: JK)
