WE obviously need updated information about the war in Iraq, but do we really need such instant, detailed information and speculation from the army of journalists, special correspondents, cameramen and experts that have invaded Iraq?

Is there a Kate Adie school somewhere in middle England, that sends this rash of front-line reporters, in combat chic, to the latest hot spots?

Come home, we don't want you to become a statistic. We can manage very well with less war coverage. Besides Ulrika hasn't been on the front page for simply ages!
