I think that general that did the UK centcomm presser last night should have a face to face sit down with some of these Beeb reporters. I have no doubt that man can whip them into shape.

What's his name? I only caught a little bit of his statement on Sky. I'll see if the text is posted.

I found it. His name is Air Marshal Brian Burridge, UK CentCom. Here's what he said to the press:
The decision by Al Jazeera to broadcast such material is deplorable and we call upon them to desist from future broadcasts of such a nature. I appreciate that all media outlets have a strong desire for "exclusive" pictures and we have no desire to limit journalistic freedom in any way. However, all media outlets must be aware of the limits of taste and decency and be wary that they do not unwittingly become tools for Iraqi propaganda.

Did you hear that, Charlie Gibson, et al?
