There is a vast difference between wanting UK troops to benefit from public support and seeking to have media outlets banned from reporting allegations of war crimes.

The first is commendable and the second is utter madness.

If you are saying that healthy support equates to absolutely no critisism, of any aspect, in any circumstance, then you're being rediculously unrealistic.

Should a war not be debated like any other major issue of national importance? Should we stiffle completely any well reasoned arguement for the sake of military morale? Should we accept what we're fed blindly and not question what has gone on, and what may continue to do so for possibly years to come?

Sounds fantastic! Iran anyone?
