[MD] Making money from surrender?

[ian glendinning]

Jos, Platt,

Platt a Grauniad reader - I can't wait :-)

In defence of the BBC, whom I still suppport, I'd say that their radio
and on-line coverage still seems second to none in scope and depth,
even if the BBC TV news has gone the way of most entertainment TV. But
as I said, the most important quality of news is variety of sources
anyway. Any one source is always risky.

Update here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6544567.stm

BTW Platt dare I point out again, that you have not actually addressed
yourself the subject of your own thread .... the morality of
servicemen / women selling such stories.
No change there then.
