Of course when the 'fun' stuff was happening with the assault on Basra and
toppling Saddam's statue they couldn't get enough embodied press there to witness it! Similarily in the lead up to war when we learnt of WMD's and the supposed links with Al Qaeda the Mod and Whitehall were leaning over backwards to help the press with the information they needed .
Step forwards to now and the glaring treatment of our forces is clear to all . Great that they choose now to censor what our media can do - maybe the media should now ignore these self serving muppets when they choose to fly out to these war zones and pretend everything is going swimmingly!
