Moggie,

I think that Sky had no such inhibitions earlier. I had the misfortune to catch part of the 'display' thanks to finger trouble with the Sky remote, but didn't dwell.

I don't know whether or not Sky are still showing the item.

The Iran story isn't clear here - as far as I can tell from the variety of report, 'rockets' have fallen in their territory, but there's been no confirmation whether these were coalition or Iraqi rockets as far as I can tell. Others will probably know better than I on this one.

[edited in the light of SASless beating me to it]

From what you say, SASless, unless the thing's staged for the benefit of Saddam's sympathisers rather than aimed at reducing US public support, it looks like another great blunder on Saddam's part.

We can only hope that the PoWs are released swiftly, and my thoughts are with them and their families.
