I thought I noticed something in the war coverage yesterday, and really had it confirmed a short while ago. The BBC were interviewing soldiers in the field, who were definitely implying that this was not what they'd been told to expect. One junior officer almost seemed sarcastic.

The American General who voiced the same concerns was quickly put down by a superior General on CNN, but shortly after, the BBC said that the second soldier was part of Public Relations and was not actually fighting.

I immediately sensed anger in the press corps as they queried Ari Fleischer about this. I'm getting the feeling that the 'gentleman's agreement' seems to have been shattered, and the press are not going to take the information at face value anymore.

Within an hour, an American big shot was on CNN saying (for the very first time) that which I've mentioned above.

I'm sorry I can't remember anyone's names, but I've been watching this while doing some painting, and I'm sure I'm seeing a huge switch happening right now. Has anyone else noticed it?
