So, the Guardian of London has fired Dilpazier Aslam–the “sassy” terrorist apologist spotlighted here and across the blogosphere. The paper provides background here.

Eursoc is comparing the episode to the CBS/Dan Rather fake memo fiasco and has an excellent recap. Mark Moore takes on the Guardian’s dissembling.

The Daily Ablution led the way in digging into Aslam’s membership in a terror-sympathizing political group.

Martin Stabe wonders if the Los Angeles Times, which reprinted Aslam’s noxious op-ed (with a bit of whitewash), will inform readers of his firing:

I wonder if they’ll take note of his fate. I’m sure the bloggers will insist that they do.
