Iraq: More dead journalists than UK soldiers

ADM debate often covers political issues, and the invasion of Iraq took centre stage this afternoon. According to the Yorkshire delegate who spoke on this issue: "It is not only killing our people; it's corroding our ability to report the circumstances in which our people are dying".

It was shocking to learn about the number of civilians who have lost their lives since the invasion of Iraq three years ago. But equally shocking was the claim that more journalists have been killed in Iraq than British soldiers.

It’s time to question what’s at stake. There has been so much debate and public protest about the war; I don't know what to believe any more. Does anyone still remember the purpose of the war in the first place?
