Not only did the sainted Kember apparently leave instructions that in the event of his kidnap he was not to be 'released' by military action but when the boys turned up he berated them for fighting in an illegal war.<BR/><BR/>reminds me of edward woodward's line in Who Dares Wins when he turns to the SAS Colonel Hadley and says "Just a thought - if you go through with this The media will be all over you like flies. If any of the hostages die, you'll be damned. If on the other hand you kill the terrorists you'll be damned" Hadley says "Nature of the job."<BR/><BR/>This war has proven that the media are no longer on side for the army, the navy or the air force.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
