Dead Pan,
Not a bleeding heart liberal, just incredibly guillable. I can believe that a man died in a helicopter as a result of restraining and a bit of rough treatment at the hands of captors. That's an accidental consequence of war(and the shaky peace that followed it) not a deliberate act.
But. This story has been embellished to the point where it lacks credibility in the eyes of those people who have been out there. The print media, remember them? They are the ones who sanctioned the hacking of a dead teenagers phone to sell their grubby story. If you think that the more adult papers don't engage in this type of act then think again. This is all very convenient to lash out at an organisation whose work sometimes involves secrecy (for good reason)at the time of the leveson enquiry.
I believe no more than about 20% of it.
