Today's David Miliband Non-Story

The media is all excited over a Labour minister disparaging the term "war on terror" and saying things like "this isn't us against one organised enemy with a clear identity and a coherent set of objectives" and "What these groups want is to force their individual and narrow values on others, without dialogue, without debate, through violence. And by letting them feel part of something bigger, we give them strength."

Except the example above is not drawn from David Miliband's Op-Ed piece in today's Guardian that the paper highlighted on page 1 and which the BBC repeatedly reported on. Instead, it is from a speech that then International Development Secretary Hilary Benn gave in New York City in April 2007 that both the BBC and the Guardian reported on extensively. 

Oh, the short term memory of the media.
