Look at Chater now, he was getting pressured it seemed, looked like he was almost in tears. I never heard this guy before this war started so I don't know his leanings. Maybe someone from Britain can fill us in.

MadIvan, could you chime in on that?

Alas, I rely on this thread for my "news". I must rely on your observations of the events to get an accurate picture. (Cubically Bound - Bradband Challenged [at home] - only socialist media available [German/Swiss/Austrian + CNNi])

I'm not from Britain, but I've been able to tell that if you leaned all the way to the left and then leaned some more, falling out of your chair into a deep abyss you'd see Chater somewhere down there.

I'll tell you what I know about Chater - which is limited: on the first night of the airstrikes, he was leaning out his hotel window and saying, "These are very precise...it doesn't appear to have hit any civilian areas at all - very controlled, very precise."

Then a minder from the Iraqi Ministry of Information made him say that there "may have been civilian casualties" - I think he's been closely watched ever since.

Chater said he and all the journalists were still under the control of the Iraqi Government. He also said that he saw the U.S. tanks specifically target Western Jouralists. I don't believe, Chater really thinks the Western reporters are really targets, he just said that in his interview in front of the minders for the Hussein regime.
