I'm now wondering if it was all deliberate.

I think that anything goes with the Trump government.

I think it shows what our supposed special friends actually think of us, as well as joking about people who woukd be killed and their crass stupidity in not realising a journalist there.

The leak was unbelievable. What an unprofessional shower they are, what a way to conduct the business of government. Definitely not to be trusted with our intelligence imho.

Of course you are right which is why a meeting of the senate has been called with the head of the CIA present. It also questions whether our government should trust the US with intelligence.

The big story is not what was said, but the inclusion of the journalist. They were very lucky it was a guy who chose to give up his cover early with a fairly benign (known) story. It is serious stuff if the private exchanges of a country's top security deliberators are leaking.

Nice to know.
But as Blunkett just stated on the politics show perhaps Trump and his cronies should consider the fact that the RAF assisted with the attacks on Yemen.
