Actor Richard Gere has criticised American President George Bush's policy to combat AIDs during an international conference.  

He said the £100 billion to £150 billion spent on the Iraq campaign "probably could have eradicated this illness", the star of Pretty Woman and Chicago said.

Supporters of Mr Bush's abstinence policy also came in for criticism for trying to tackle the spread of AIDs.  

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni told delegates at the AIDs conference in Bangkok that abstinence and loving relationships were a more effective weapon than condoms against the illness.

2. This story about what the Ugandan President said is slightly misleading

He stressed abstinence (especially since he's kowtowing to the USA) but did note that condoms are a practical measure for many people. Also, the condoms played a greater role in helping slow the spread in his country that Dumbo and his cohorts would like you to believe.

5. Of course they did and of course it's misleading

Did you expect honest reportage in 2004?
