Because I was making the post to tell people what was happening Mark Send a noteboard - 22/07/2011 05:26:11 PM
Just because I believe something does not mean that I am correct. It's better to just report the facts and allow people to make their own conclusions. The reason behind making the post was to let people know what was happening rather than what I thought was happening. No official at that stage had said they believed it to be an attack so I didn't either, although I did indicate that the media were leaning that way.
