I'd love to see a compound full of journalists attacked by a large riot of Iraqi civilians and insurgents with rocks, grenades, mortars etc. And then possibly having then seen some of their number; possibly some of their good friends blown-up, killed or injured.

And then, having caught some of the rioters see just how they would "interview them."

I suppose it would be tea and biscuits and such. Yeah right!

The army trains it's men to fight wars, not be Policemen; although they often do end up in a policing role and pretty much do a stirling job. However, I would expect that at times some will react a bit over the top.. but hey! nobody died!
