Lt Col Collins seems to be having a pretty outstanding war, if there is such a thing.
But Spruce, do you not think Sarah Oliver is having a good one. Her pieces are superb. (She's embedded with the Irish)

Top footage on CNBC of scene in central Baghdad with a large traffic roundabout with M1s and Bradleys all round it. Camera then zoom-pans onto two young Iraqis holding a large "Humanshield" banner, which they had amended to read: "Go Home you Humanshield W@nkers"

Foss, I can't place Sarah Oliver (what's her network)?, but by "pieces", I hope you're talking about her journalism, rather than any anatomical features!

Well Spruce,

BB is right and unfortunately its going to get worse. Who can predict the quick sell stories that are going to come out in the next few years,? We've already moaned about the kit, Gulf War Syndrome was a decade ago, welfare package is not gory enough. What will be the media slants on this war AFTER THE EVENY. My Guess is:


1. The military's fault for taking journos into dangerous places.

2. The Blue on Blue issue (quite rightly with regards the Patriots) .

3.Military's fault
