After the helicopter crashes troops were allowed to make phone calls home to reassure their folks that they were ok.

I've just spoken to a friend who recieved one of these calls from a soldier on the front line in Basra. That soldier said "don't believe what you are seeing on tv, there is heavy fighting here and we are under real attack".

The fact that a soldier is saying this is very telling as to what the BBC has been told to report. The government are lying (again). There is NO support for this war, and even the soldiers are not grassing them up!!
