After many shenanigans and much codec-wrangling, the You Slut! video is now live on Google Video.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that you can only see it if you use Windows since Google requires you to install their video viewer.

The advice was first provided to senior ministers in March 2002. Two months later RAF and USAF jets began “spikes of activity” [...]
American officials lied to British ministers over the use of “internationally reviled” napalm-type firebombs in Iraq.
Yesterday’s disclosure led to calls by MPs for a full statement to the Commons and opened ministers to allegations that they held back the facts until after the general election.
