Until reminded by Seumas Milne's piece in today's Guardian, I'd forgotten how much flak the paper picked up for it's post-9/11 coverage:

The Telegraph ran a regular "useful idiots" column targeted at the Guardian, while Andrew Neil declared the newspaper should be renamed the "Daily Terrorist" and the Sun's Richard Littlejohn lambasted us as the "anti-American propagandists of the fascist left press".

How distant and strange those febrile days now seem...
