In Britain, pop singer George Michael complains to ITV1's Tonight With Trevor McDonald that he cannot safely return to the United States after a critical story in the New York Post: "It's been very heavily inferred that I was actually an al Qaeda sympathiser, that somehow I thought that there was something not horrific and shocking about the attacks on September 11. I was trying to do some damage control because my life was in danger. Americans are very reactionary right now and I -- because of that article -- cannot return to America, even though my partner lives there." |
