Excellant Programme

I only caught the last 15-20 mins of Sunday's programme (traffic on the way back); however, I managed to watch the whole of Monday's second part. I thought it was an excellant, well presented article that was reminiscent of 'old' BBC reporting. The facts were presented, with boths sides getting the opportunity to present their version, which in turn allowed me as the viewer to form my own opinion.
There were many points rasied that provided some real stimulus for continued debate, from the political interference relating to desired troop numbers, the disbandment of the Iraqi armed forces and most damaging of all (in my view), the lack of engagement with the Iraqis themselves, post-conflict.
The final comments of John Ware were also damning in their simplicity.
