...five-story building, the team staked out an intersection dubbed "RPG alley," the site of numerous rocket-propelled-grenade attacks on U.S. convoys. Because sniper teams are clandestine units, photographs of the troops were shot using a soldier's night optical device, providing a glimpse inside America's shadow...
...said he had failed to live up to their expectations. Critics, both in the Labour Party and outside, largely blame Campbell's style of news management - so combative and relentless that by now people dismiss as spin much of what the government says.
