The ever-brilliant Stephen den Beste fisks this ridiculous piece of BBC anti-American propaganda posing as news.
This sort of analysis would be met with shock and horror in Islington by the soft-left supporters of the BBC, no doubt.
The BBC of course does not understand civil disobedience – it is not a right to break the law and get away with it because one (thinks one) has noble intentions, it is the moral duty to break an immoral law and be punished for it because to comply with the law would be wrong. This sort of obvious subtlety is completely lost on the BBC.
