38th Parallel revisited.


I do not listen to a lot of BBC Radio 4. When it is good, it is very good but when it is dreck etc. However, right now they are broadcasting extracts from James Cameron's book about his war reporting from Korea. This cannot be anything but excellent. Cameron was an excellent writer and made sure he was where the action was. Listening to him puts some balance into the sort of thing we are getting from Iraq such is the contrast. The living conditions, the kit that was provided and the close and fatal involvement of the civil population - they are all there. The service where we can go back and hear the readings is excellent. I commend it to this House - as that nice Mr Brown says.
