MIKE you didn't miss much in the rest of the programme. It was obvious from the start that Michael Asher set out with an agenda, and by the end of the programme it became clear that the agenda was to discredit McNab / Ryan and promote Vince, one of the troop who was KIA. The questions put to the the Iraqis were often leading, and it wasn't clear how much they were being paid for their participation. One of the main "witnesses" was an Iraqi NCO for God's sake, hardly unbiased you would think. Even some of the basic facts were questionable - if Chris Ryan uses a pseudonym and "hides" behind anonymity, how come his face is on the inside rear cover of at least one of his books?

The programme was so misleading and biased that it left me wishing I'd watched "Spooks" on BBC1 instead (and it's pretty awful).

Not sure what it's got to do with PPRuNe though, unless you count the fact that they travelled in the mighty Wokka.
