Earlier in this thread I said that the media had made a meal of this story or words to that effect, seems I'm not the only one who felt this way. Was watching BBC news report this morning, where the public contact the BBC about their news content in bulletins, I wasn't the only one to think that if this story had been kept to a minimum without showing videos etc. these murdering scumbags would have failed, terrorism is like a fire, cut of the oxygen and it soon dies, now this story will be played over for months including the trial (pity it wasn't the SAS who attended the scene) not only making every news program but dragging up the whole sorry mess for the soldiers family, but at least the police are learning, a guy, who was a friend of one of the murderers, was arrest on terrorism charges after appearing on Newsnight last night.
