I won't be spending my evening digging for ALL the articles in the Telegraph similar to this one. You were defending one posted by Ivan not long ago. Nasty one, that you saw nothing wrong with, but that many Americans objected to.

Actually, by printing such articles as this one, the Telegraph seems more tabloid than the Sun. What the reporter quotes as something said by an American sounds more like a Brit trying to sound like an American.

Even the New York Times sometimes finally has to account for its reporters' egregious articles. So must the Telegraph.

"We're trilingual arms and explosives experts with full air support and medical assistance at your disposal, sir. We've come to debrief the local population to provide you with useful intelligence."

"Right you are," said the officer from A squadron, Queen's Dragoon Guards outside Gul Ashab.

The village is under British control following a sweeping manoeuvre on Monday which took the squadron to the outskirts of Basra.

"We've got some special techniques to motivate them into helping you," said the special forces man.

"You know what?" said the British officer, "I don't think that will be strictly necessary."
