Channel 4 - Step to far?
Is Channel 4 overstepping the line by producing a documentary-style film in which George Bush is assassinated, and then premiering it on the eve of the 5th anniversary 9/11?
C4 is also planning a drama in which Tony Blair is on trial for war crimes, so i think you can see what angle they are coming from.

I think if they'd not gone for showing it in all it's "glory", making it so real, they would have got away with it. It's not necessary. Just sensationalism.
Actually, anything CH4 can do the BBC are there first... Armando Ianucci's Time Trumpet had a segment which was censored recently, where Blair is assasinated (it's up on Youtube here).
Seems everybody's caught in a state of really morbid wishful thinking or something. That or they know it'll get the headlines.
(PS - You have a link to my blog on your page, but it's an old link (beware of the dogma) - I moved my blog to www.martinemartin.co.uk - sorry for the confusion!!)
I will update it for you
Thanks!
