Re: Media safety pledge
IMHO they should be amongst the first targets!
Unfortunatly, young Jamie Inglis lost his battle with cancer. RIP brave lad.

Collateral damage ring any bells?And it pledges that "UK forces on operations will never deliberately target either individual correspondents or civil media facilities."-------------------------------------------------------------

Shame they'll never reciprocate

Re: Media safety pledge
Any chance of the press promising not to target squaddies?

You pays your money, you takes your chances as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Media safety pledge
I would have assumed that we did not deliberately target journos anyway. (As much as we'd sometimes like to).
Don't sit on the fence, it will jag your arrse.

Re: Media safety pledge
errrm...
I congratulate the MoD on the principle behind this initiative. I havent yet looked at the detail.
Some of you will know a very good guy called Smudger who is ex-RA and has done some important work relating to journo safety.
The trouble with the "poetic justice" argument is that the ones who stitch us up are not (always) the same ones who might be at risk. Unfortunately.
