I am hoping to go to the The first casualty? War, Truth and the Media Today, in London on Saturday.
One of the speakers is former BBC man Andrew Gilligan and the Press Gazette are currently cattying a piece by him on the reporting from Iraq.it is well worth a read.
I think his speach could be interesting based on this sample
We didn’t get it. We now know that almost everything the media reported about Iraq, before and during the war, was wrong. Not just the fabled WMD threat, not just the supposed links between Saddam and terror, but the claim that force had not been decided on; that it was about disarmament, not regime change; that the troops were properly equipped; that planning for the post-war was being undertaken.
