Salon has an excellent piece (watch an ad for free access) by Phillip Robertson about his attempt to track down the American soldier who shot dead an Iraqi journalist (and doctor) last month. It’s a very honest piece showing the impossibility of it all on the ground for the soldiers who are there.
I’m very curious to see what the new Steven Bochco series on FX in the US, Over There is like. Sky One has bought it in the UK, although I don’t know when it’s going to start.
(As a complete aside, a colleague claimed last night to have run into some bloke in a club who was buying bottles and bottles of champagne for all and sundry because he’d been in Iraq and had been paid some serious “hush” money. Curiouser and curiouser said Alice)
