Channel Four TV News - 10/April/2002
Certainty level: 80%
I was watching Jon Snow on Channel Four TV News on Wednesday 10 April, and h
e again reacted on seeing me
watching his programme. At 7.25pm he was reading an item on atrocities durin
g the Balkan war;
JS: "It was Europe's worst massacre since the Second World War, and Dutch ar
my officers [cough] and the
United Nations should share the blame. So says the first authoritative repor
t into the murder of
thousands of Muslim men in Srebrenice at the height of the Bosnian war in 19
95. The 7,500 page document
took Dutch Government researchers six years to prepare, and it condemns mili
tary and political leaders
for sending peacekeepers on a mission impossible. Our Foreign Affairs corres
pondent Gaby Rado,
who went to Srebrenice very soon after the massacre, is with us now. Gaby, h
ow damning is this report?"
GR: "Well it is very severe. It accuses the Dutch Government of sending badl
y armed and badly briefed
Dutch soldiers into a very dangerous space out of a sense of national arroga
nce basically. It accuses
the United Nations basically of..."
There are two incidents in this one recording. The first (80% certainty) is
when Jon Snow develops a frog in
his throat in the first sentence, shortly after reading the text "Europe's w
orst massacre". There is both
verbal expression and facial expression at that point; he is laughing at me,
which is at odds with the serious
material he is reading. His eyebrows twitch upwards, and he is smirking at t
he phrase
"Europe's worst massacre", and its application to the Security Service's act
ions against me. Another aspect
is that when Snow said "Europe's worst massacre", I facially reacted; in ret
urn, Snow would have seen
my change of expression, and followed it with his own reaction. He almost sa
ys "United States" instead of
"United Nations"; he isn't looking at his autocue, his mind is off what he i
s reading, instead he is looking
at me in the little monitor where he sees me through the television.
The first incident I'm fairly sure about, but the second I only give a 20% c
ertainty to; it's when Gaby Rado
talks of a "sense of national arrogance", supposedly about the Dutch, but pe
rhaps the English actions
against me for over a decade. If Rado's statement were about me, then it wou
ld be condemnatory of MI5
as being "arrogant"; but I cannot be reasonably certain it's about me, or mu
ch less so that Snow's
reaction in the first instance, anyway.
