Mr Womble,
You are right, the media do have every right to question what we do....but put it into context. It occurs just after hostilities have ceased. There are no investigators on scene. The MOD cannot be expected to know what has happened.
So the media have every right to question. Just as the MOD have every right to throw their hands up and say 'we don't know'. The press, on the other hand have no right to make up gossip in the absence of evidence. Their job is to report the truth, not to make up their own false reality based on an agenda.
On the other hand you conspiracist clowns think that life is easy and a policeman exists at every street corner ready to kick ass and take names. Why? Because in your world, to an extent that is true. Go and stand on a street corner in Sangin and preach human rights and lawyer sh!t to the Taliban. See how long it takes before they remove your head with a large saw.
