The Talibanization of the BBC
The BBC apologizes for hosting an online debate over whether or not Uganda is in the right to consider executing gay men. It is a non-apology: They say they were just asking questions. Crucial questions. Legitimate ones. Etc.
BBC World Service director Peter Horrocks wrote in a blog posted on the broadcaster's Web site Thursday: "We apologize for any offense it caused."
He added however that the program was a legitimate attempt to encourage discussion about a crucial African issue.
