Really?
We must have been watching different stations then!
From what I saw the BBC concentrated on the impact on iraqis and slating the americans (one news presenter even went as far to suggest that as the captured engineers were giving out their home towns they were also likely to be giving out secret information like radio frequencies!)
And remember the questiontime episode where the BBC filled the audience with anti-americans?
The other news programs I watched (mainly ITV) showed the effects on the iraqis, but mainly reports from embedded journalists, giving an idea as to what it was like with the troups.
