> Certainty level: 50%
> In January 2001 I signed up for Channel 4 TV News's email service SnowMail, under an anonymous email address.
> Quite soon Jon Snow and others started getting at me in the SnowMail bulletins, so I promptly unsubscribed.
> Here are three distributed messages which may be intended to be against me; I have given these items a joint
> probability of 50% only, since it is quite difficult to be sure these are against me, although I think they
> may well be.
> First item is from 5 January 2001. "Back passage contacts" might genuinely be about Labour were communicating
> in a shielded way with ITN; but it may be about Snow's covert communications with me on his programme and in
> this bulletin; and it's a slightly strange thing for him to say, it suggests the human body's back passage.
> "I wish they'd come and talk on our website".... Snow knows I'm subscribed to his mailing list, and he may be
> encouraging me to talk to him by email; again, if that comment were genuinely about Labour, then it would be
> a strange thing to say, since the politicians talk to Snow by phone and on his programme, so they wouldn't talk
> to him by email; my suspicion at the time is that he was trying to persuade me to talk to him by email,

> Good afternoon dear viewer,
> Well the 'snowmail' drew a little ire from Labour HQ yesterday. A sensitive call at 6.35pm from my friendly
> mentor there sought to correct the impression I gave in yesterday's missive that in some way Labour was bounced
> into naming these latest millionaire donors. Well I'm afraid they were...rest assured Paul Hamlyn would not have
> been named without the diligent sleuthing of my colleagues, and had HE not been named neither would these latest two.
> The only serious inaccuracy I must plead to was the promise that we would put these matters to a 'senior Labour
> person'...alas none was forthcoming...I shall make no such rash promise again. My same mentor was on the phone again
> during last night's Channel 4 News urging us to 'get some reality into the programme'. I fear we may have touched a
> sensitive nerve...and the election campaign has not even started, or has it? I shall try to keep you posted with these
> 'back passage contacts' as the campaign unfolds..from all sides. I do wish they'd come and talk things over with all
> of us on the web site...here's an open invitation...
> So to today:
> Harold Shipman murdered as many as 250 people it now turns out. But he is never to be tried and relatives who seek
> closure to their uncertainties will never reap satisfaction..we have the DPP, the Chief Medical Officer and a solicitor
> for aggrieved and bereaved families on the programme..the world's second-worst mass murderer..can he be allowed to
> escape further action?
> Sending private/sexy emails in company time gets workers the sack..Big Brother spies on office premises..is electronic
> life in the work place getting out of hand? We explore what we can...and if you are not sure what you can and can't
> send, our site spells out the legal dos and don'ts and gives you the chance to put your views to us.
> The CIA publishes its risk assessment for the world in the coming years..beyond the CIA itself, what's the biggest
> threat to life and liberty? Find out on Channel 4 News..and a major encounter with a man expected to take a top job
> in the Bush administration...
> And a sumptuous piece from Nicholas Glass in Valencia..a city transformed by a brilliant young architect for half
> the price of what the Dome cost us.
> Lots moving, see you at 7.00,best as ever,
> Jon Snow

> The next contact was on 11 January, with the unsubtle words "the lunatics have taken over the newsroom"
> from Krishnan GM. The phrase needs no explanation as to why it might be a dig at me.

> Good Afternoon. Jon's away so the lunatics have taken over the newsroom. I am joined by Samira for tonight's show.
> The Depleted Uranium confusion deepens. What did Ministers and senior officers know about the risks to soldiers?
> What did they tell others? And why the lack of candour over the recent documents that have surfaced? Having
> dismissed the army report leaked yesterday warning of the dangers of exposure to DU as written by a trainee and
> littered with mistakes, the Ministry of Defence now accepts it was written by an experienced officer.
> But they won't say who. More awkwardly it emerges that senior officers decided a month after it was written that
> the report should be circulated to all personnel likely to come into contact with DU. But was it? Nobody seems to
> know. Our Science Correspondent Andrew Veitch has also visited the lab in Oxford that could begin testing
> veterans for Depleted Uranium within six months, but they have had no contact from the government as yet. From
> the Tories, Mr Duncan Smith is likely to join us. And we have Defence Secretary Hoon coming into the studio to
> answer the obvious (and not so obvious) questions.
> No interest rate cut today from the Bank of England, but could it be next month? As real fears are raised about
> the likelihood of recession in the US how could it affect us over here? There's been a recent consensus that
> Britain could weather the storm instead of falling into the usual pattern of shadowing American trends. But how
> realistic is that? And what about all that inward investment we rely on from the States? Liam Halligan has been
> looking at just what impact economic downturn across the water would have on us.
> The former Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic pleaded not guilty to charges of warcrimes including genocide
> today. She was number two to Karazdic and a reputed hardliner during the "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia.
> But has a deal been done on her sentence if found guilty? Just why did she get on a plane and give herself up
> to the Hague War Crimes Tribunal? Nobody seems to have any explanation. Her lawyers are asking for special
> accommodation and even the possibility of bail. Gaby Rado is there and joining us live is the first Prosecutor
> in the Hague Judge Goldstone to discuss whether plea bargains and deals are the only way to get the real villains.
> Also the astonishing news that scientists in America have bred the first genetically engineered monkey. What will
> they be used for and what's the next step? Does anybody really believe they won't do it to humans before too
> long? Julian Rush will have details.
> All that and loads more at seven. See you then, I hope. Krishnan.

> The third and final item is from 24 January, shortly after which I unsubscribed from SnowMail. Again, it is difficult
> to be sure if this item refers to me; it may do, it may not do, 50% captures the possibility. Snow refers to
> "third leg of [Blair's] political footstool". In English culture "third leg" indicates one's male member;
> Snow's phrase may be a sexual reference, of which there were others around that time.

> Good evening dear Channel 4 News viewer,
> There are times in this business when you suffer severe attacks of deja vu...haven't I already said "Mandelson
> Resigns!"...I'm afraid I have, and tonight I shall say it again. He's gone, the fat lady has not only sung but
> died completely and utterly on his career...that is the end of the former Northern Ireland Secretary's political career.
> It's a body blow against Blair for whom Mandelson was a mentor, manipulator, calculator, friend, brother and the
> third leg of his political footstool.
> It's a body blow for a Prime Minister who has had to have him resign not once but twice. It calls into question
> Tony Blair's judgement. Mandy, probably one of the most brilliant spirits in politics, flew too close to the
> sun...suffering finally at the hand of his own diabolical flaw.
> Amazingly it's a flaw Blair understood more keenly than anyone...
> And then there are the Hindujas who have compromised every political party with ridiculous photographed party
> poses..who are they and how do they work?
> Masses moving on all fronts on this story tonight. We have the resignation speech in full on our site www.channel4.com/news;
> if you want to see how Mandelson bowed out.
> There are other developments:
> The cancer tragedy at Nottingham Queens medical centre..the wrong drug going into the spinal column of an eighteen-year-old
> Leukemia victim who's now in intensive care, dangerously ill...it's happened before..why has it happened again?
> And a moving interview with Sharon Sage who's mother Lorna Sage wrote a spell binding memoir highly rated in last night's
> Whitbread Prize. An exceptional piece....
> A highly political night....see you at seven on four...best, as ever, Jon
> After this email I unsubscribed from SnowMail. I could not be sure that these items were or were not about me,
> but it's an unpleasant feeling that Mr Snow might be getting at me in writing, as he certainly was when he watched
> me while presenting the news; so I cut my losses, so to speak, and bailed out.
