Comment on RIM CEO terminates BBC Click interview

Comments

I found the final words of the interview the most striking:

>>This is not fair... What are you doing?... This is a national security issue.

A national security issue for who? The US? Can't journalists ask questions about national security issues anymore?

I can see why the US would be weary to have business people/officials traveling to a country where all their conversations can be monitored. But is this a CEO confirmation that the RIM india/pakistan issue has become a US national security issue now?

A gag order would be perfect cause for this rather strange interview-stopping behavior from someone I reckon has a lot of experience dealing with journalists.

I assumed he meant it was a security issue within the nations the interviewer was asking about, not the US.

But RIM is a Canadian company.
