  • OnPoint: Iraq, from the air,

    As the footage intro (or outro, i forget) explains carrying a Uzi is legal and even a RPG common place (and not in-itself proof of being an 'insurgent'). the footage is harrowing and shocking and shows the careless disregard these people have for human life. its like watching someone play counter strike. appalling, and no doubt hideously common.

  • Hard News: "Creative" and "Flexible",

    I would like to add, further to my above comment, that it is entirely plausible, in fact likely, that John Drinnan's mistaken comments about my position at AU were quite unintentional.

  • Hard News: "Creative" and "Flexible",

    Hi folks, just to confirm I am NOT a lecturer, and have never even given a guest lecture. I'm but a lowly MA student and media/pols tutor at AU.. John must have thought, as you have noted RB, that calling me a lecturer helped the story. Sigh. I've emailed him asking for a correction, he said he'd address it in his next column.
