Remember from the first evening John Simpson reporting with one of those green camera things from somewhere in northern Iraq. "I'm xx miles SE of xxxx and we have seen intense US special forces activity all day. Indeed behind me you can probably make out a US vehicle (you could indeed see a vehicle but not as clearly to make out type)". After a couple more minutes of him blah blahing said vehicle drove off at speed. Idiot.

I too saw RAF Sir Bediviere (or however you spell it).

Sad to hear of death of Terry Lloyd. But lets hope the media learn a lesson from it - the front line is a place for the military, and the military only.

This is a great thread by the way. And if you journos dont like it - get stuffed, its payback time!
