چکیده    This study explores the strategic use of resources for conveying attitudinal assessments by journalists when their communicative options are seriously curtailed—when there are severe social, legal, or political constraints on what they can say about powerful people and institutions. it offers, by way of a case study, an analysis of editorials published in twopakistani english-language newspapers the day after the us forces covertly entered pakistan and killed osama bin laden. whereas these actions raised serious questions about the prior conduct of the pakistani military and intelligence services, the journalists were prevented by strict legal prohibitions from any overt criticism. through an appraisal-framework analysis, this study describes the ‘oblique’ attitudinal style used in the two editorials to advance cases which position readers to view those involved in an extremely negative light.
