David Chater from Sky has been under the gun from the first night of the war, as well - I think he's as relieved as anyone: ever since he said, on the first night, "these air strikes are very precise, very controlled", the Iraqi minders have been on his case.

Hi Ivan - Yes, the minders evidently were constraining him quite a bit. He seems genuinely happy to see the troops. I will admit to piling on David over the past few weeks.

Each time Chater interviewed one of our Marines, he ended it with "stay safe."
