Here's a darkly funny story from Damien McElroy of London's Daily
Telegraph:

In an extraordinary 10-page letter that reads like an employee's
disciplinary hearing, the veteran Jihadist fighter was criticised
by the Shura Council, the 14-man governing body of Al-Qaeda in
the Islamic Maghreb, in which they called him a "bleeding wound"
among the then thriving Islamist factions in North Africa when he
threatened to form a breakaway group.

"Your letter . . . contained some amount of backbiting,
name-calling and sneering," they write. "We refrained from
wading into this battle in the past out of a hope that the
crooked could be straightened by the easiest and softest means. .
. . But the wound continued to bleed, and in fact increasingly
bled, until your last letter arrived, ending any hope of
staunching the wound and healing it."

We've always considered the BBC's version of "The Office" superior to
NBC's. But this has potential to be even better.
