Not every coffin, draped in the Union Jack, containing yet another dead British soldier is show returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. So why this morning?
BBC Breakfast showed the images of some of the four coffins being returned to Great Britain today. The four dead were killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq last week, about the same time the 15 captured naval personnel were being released by Iran. Naturally Blair blamed Iran, or "at least elements of Iran", and naturally without providing any evidence whatsoever. Is it just a coincidence that the day before these four corpses are returned home the USA provides yet more dodgy evidence that Iran is providing the bombs that blow up soldiers from the "coalition of the killing".
We have to ask, why are these four coffins of special significance?
Why have we been shown these coffins being carried home on the shoulders of living soldiers?
If the BBC, or indeed the Government, really, really wanted to pay their respect to these soldiers and the nurse who gave their lives for their governments lies then send a team of reporters and camera crew to the funerals, interview the friends, lovers and family of the dead ones blown to bits. Tell their story, not just show a few short images of the coffin and repeat unsubstantiated allegations from a proven Bliar that their deaths were Iran's fault.
