Just back. Very sad about the BBC cameraman who died stepping on the land mine. Reuters could have improved the accuracy of their story by pointing out that American military leaders have assured the press that the coalition forces only use portable land mines for defensive purposes. We retrieve and carry each one as we move on. Saddam's regime leaves land mines for innocents to step on.

But then, it wouldn't be Reuters, would it? : )
