Here's a rather rough interpretation of the situation:

This one is a little less condemning (and condescending):

About the "jail break:"

Here's the REAL story behind it:

It amazes me the audacity in which a blatantly liberal media of civilians thinks, and reports on, undercover operations with a zeal for zinging military actions.

The pattern you'll notice in those links is that everyone was calling the SAS soldiers terrorists sent to purposely extend the war by keeping strife alive. The media crucified them, the British government, and accused America of both knowing about it and even encouraging it.

But then, in the last link, the truth of the operation's intent is released by the British SAS, and guess what? TRY and find a retraction offered by the media after that. Hint: You won't. This was huge news in the anti-war circles for a week, then it just disappeared when they were proven wrong - right off the radar. Of note is the lack of reporting on these criminal police officers torturing Iraqi people with electric drills and all sorts of other nasty things. The SAS was undercover to out these crooked officers, but when the media was given that story, there was no week-long outrage, hardly any mention at all.

Their collective volume against the SAS soldiers was followed by absolute silence at the truth. How sad is that? No bias there - move along, move along.
